Re: "Secret Sauce"

secret sauce eh?

is that a metaphor there young man?

plays nice though i kept wanting to put an F minor in

when you say 12 bar blues do you mean "play it bluesy" or 12 bar in the rock and roll sense?

ignore me i'm tired-[night shift]

phill

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: "Secret Sauce"

Hi Phill -
Metaphor?  Metaphor??  I don't need no stinkin' metaphor!

Actually, it's just another silly phrase that stuck in my head . . .
But come to think of it, if I we were to have another child (yikes!) it would actually make a lovely name for a baby girl!

The chords are just a standard set I am in the habit of using for 12-bar blues . . . nothing too special but I like the sequence.  Really, any 12-bar blues sequence would work here.

Hi James,

I think I could do with some Secret Sauce. Do you think my local herbal rememdy shop will keep it, or is it only available in America?

A good fun song, both easy to play and to find a melody.

Re: "Secret Sauce"

Hi Roger,
I think everybody has their own Secret Sauce!

However; there are a few people who's personal recipe leads to disaster.
For other's, their unique blend of ingredients leads to good things.

Personally, my blend has always kept me teetering on some edge . . .

Re: "Secret Sauce"

Good ditty James.

It reminded me of this guy.
I remember seeing him on Dragons Den. One of the few tv shows i watch.

His sauce made him a millionaire.
