Members Johnny Z Posted May 11, 2008 Members Share Posted May 11, 2008 It's a good place to start, but you should not limit yourself to it. I see plenty of people who are very good blues players that are stuck in a rut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members falsethreats Posted May 11, 2008 Members Share Posted May 11, 2008 sloppy (imo). ill stick with vai. Was never meant to have great technical precision like Vai and his types. That's why it always irks me when people try to compare Jimi Hendrix with Yngwie Malmsteen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it always irks me when people try to compare Jimi Hendrix with Yngwie Malmsteen. Buchanan's version a bit different than Hendrix's. Also it may not seem like it, but I actually like some shred ( Zappa, Satch, some Vai, Gilbert, Yngwie, if he'd slow down a bit and put more feeling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get enough of Michael Romeo's style, which to me sounds somewhat like a version of Malmsteen that's slower and with more feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twisty571 Posted May 11, 2008 Members Share Posted May 11, 2008 I love Blues. I love Rock. This is the bridge between the two: Love me some Great White:thu: I dig the blues alot but Clapton's voice can put me to sleep:p It's my Dad's favorite dude,he plays a Strat also;) This is where I caught onto Alvin Lee. If they ain't feelin' it noone can,check the bassist out,it cracks me up everytime I see it.

Members Gumkick Posted May 11, 2008 Members Share Posted May 11, 2008 I never bonded with the early (think '20's to '50's) blues, but am more into the early blues-rock stuff that came about after that. The stuff I get into most is the rock that is a blend of Blues and Classical (Deep Purple, early Rush etc)I have only just begun to dig the '60's stuff like John Mayall's blues breakers, early Fleetwood Mac, Humble Pie and stuff like that - more of the brittish blues than the "real" stuff! I feel just the opposite of this. I have no use whatsoever for the British stuff, or really any white blues although I like Bloomfield's playing if not his records. I'll make an exception for Roy Buchanan but I prefer his first record which has a lot more country feel to it. If all I ever heard was Clapton, SRV and B.B. King I'd probably feel the same way as the OP. I was lucky enough to buy a good blues comp when I was a kid; Lighting Hopkins, Muddy Waters, Elmore James... nothing boring about that stuff. The stuff coming out on Excello in the late 50's-early 60's was outstanding and IMO where the spirit of Rock & Roll went after the white kids took over the record business.

Members Loxley Posted May 11, 2008 Members Share Posted May 11, 2008 Convince me metal sounds good. Personally, I can't listen to it. It gags me. Perhaps I'm too old. If it's any consolation, I can't stand any metal other than Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. And I'm 20 years old. A lot of the more modern metal uses the guitar as a percussion instrument, there really are no melodies at all. I can't stand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would have picked Led Zeppelin to be honest. I don't consider them heavy metal, but they took blues and made it faster, louder, more distorted and more grandiose. There were about a lot of other bands before Great White that was a part of that bridge too, AC/DC is one off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brewski Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 ok i'm NOT trying to diss your age, but to play the blue's and to understand the blue's, you need to have lived the blue's. a lot of you young cats just haven't been though enough of life's up's and down's to see what it means, (not your fault). Shut the F$%^ Up! Man, do you old guys really believe the crap coming out of yout mouth/fingers? This is generational more than anything else. - We like what we know and grew up with and think it's perfect. Truth is, Although I'm older I never got into the bluies players and popular bands. I've always reached for harder/heavier because it's angry and that one of things music is for - expressing your distaste for the establishment....INCLUDING THE MUSIC OF THE DAY.
