The Egg-Head Blues

[theblindbard]

Hello, everypony,
At the moment, I am working on a bluesy-inspired piece and am looking for ideas. The song is going to take place during episode one.
I was talking with my girlfriend about blues lyrics (and currently teaching her the little bit of piano I know, she's enjoyying it) and we got into the area of blues. I showed her some stuff I wrote for a class and she told me that I should write up more.
Below I will paste what I have so far as well as some musical ideas.
Any imput at all is welcome, I'd like to make this a reality. Possibly teach my girlfriend some chords and have her help me with it.
Thanks and happy playing everypony!

(At the beginning, start off by playing a few bars of the opening theme, but part-way through, switch to some short blues scales and then have that lead into chords for the singing)
(during some parts when Twilight is really stressed, use dissonant chords and notes, maybe split-string playing to indicate her level of stressed and anoyence)
(use 4/4 time for the first part, will need to analyse the rest later)

Reading through my books, a story I did find
reading through my books, a story I did find
Of Night-mare's return, it did remind

A letter I sent my teacher to warn,
A letter I sent my teacher to warn
What I got in return was not but scorn

Make some friends, she did reply
Make some friends, she did reply
Before she went to raise the sun in the blue sky

whisked away from my dusty old books
whisked away from my dusty old books
"To Pony-ville!" with many a backward look

To watch over the celebration, I was sent
To watch over the celebration, I was sent
Ran into a pink pony, off again I went

The food was so good, it had to be a crime

Where is the library? there's simply not much time

I didn't mention, but, I would be playing this on mandolin and my girlfriend, if she wants to, may be doing some piano chords, too.
Sorry for the three posts

Ah, a blues cadence I see. I can hook you up with a piano comp. I'm also doing a blues called "Destiny Blues".

[theblindbard]

Sounds like a plan. I look forward to seeing what you find

I'd love to do some blues harp stuff. I love blues. I love ponies.
Win.

hmm, if you want to contact me on skype so we can start planning this, my skype name is Nalunarak, my name is Nose on there. Maybe we could record the parts seperately and then put them together in audasity?

[thunderdash]

I don't have a skype, but I could record myself with my Iphone, cause I got the SoundCloud app, and the mic picks up sound really good.

[theblindbard]

Hmm, that could work.

Pony blues? Greatness all around! I don't really have any input to give, but I look forward to listening to it!
