I believe you are right to a great extent that the love of the E guitar has for the youth been of no major concern and most of the youth would not know who Freddy King, BB King , Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan or Peter Frampton were and are. My first love of the guitar was when I heard Peter Frampton do " Do you feel like we do ? " I did not know anything about the blues music or artists. Then I came to Berlin as an Airforce member and while I was here and I still am I found out about a concert with BB King. I went at that time to this concert. He played in a tent for 1000 people. That was such a closeness and then seen him play another two times here. The sense of timing that he had was terrific. Since then I think Joe Bonamassa does alot to promote guitar players and get young kids interested in the only real feeling of electric guitar and that is the Blues. I only tried to pick up guitar playing by myself because I did not want somebody showing me how to play. I think I can play but maybe that is a dream. My wife tells me occasionally that some sounds are good. I have only sung and wrote the texts although in a couple of bands. I never really played on stage except for Jam sessions and then with some elses guitar. I have an epiphone BB King Signature model and a Fender American standard with texas pickups. They both are really great for the price. I hope I could give something sensible to your portal. Good luck and God bless.David Parrett
