He is just that good. Not my favorite blues guitarist, but a big overall favorite. I have an EC sig Strat that's about 20 years old. Santana is always good. Europa is one of my all time favorites. It's different for everyone. Lots call BB King the King of blues and the best. I wouldn't pay $5 to see him.

I don't like watching Clapton play for some reason. I do enjoy King. Who is your favorite blues guitarist?

Sly, at 4:52, what is that called?

Hang on. I just got back to the house. It's pretty hi tech, NEW. It's called a pick slide.:crazy:

But the question is this, if you were in your twenties and could go see him in a black blues club in Memphis free, would you sit on the stage under the piano and rock out?

Don't have a single favorite. SRV played some good blues.
Albert King
Leadbelly
T Bone Walker
Gatemouth Brown
Buddy Guy
Mississippi John

I could run off another 30-40 names. Most you might not have heard of.

Only if a squirrel joined me under the piano! Reminds me, we'll have to swap another story soon.

i never get tired of that video. One of the best from Crossroads. And, yeah, I do like BB in that one. I guess I like him more the older I get. I just think he got a lot of attention that should have gone to a few others.

 

[NewToVolCountry]

I want to be in 1st SFOD-D. That's my goal if I go military, won't settle for anything less.

 

[JTrainDavis]

This makes me think of Sly, for some reason

I understand that. Back in the day a lot of the rock generation adopted him but I don't think that was his fault. He was just doing his thing and a whole bunch of rockers appreciated his gig.

Go ahead.

I know. The more I read now about back then, I am starting to get it. He and Chuck were gods to many.

Lulz, what do you like playing on your guitar?

 

[JTrainDavis]

JTrain, what do you know about SERE training?

Pass SFAS then worry about it. Actually, pass SFAS then worry about it. You seem mentally very capable, buddy. But you need to fight Golden Gloves before you go pro, if you follow.

 

[Slydell]

Lulz, what do you like playing on your guitar?

Anything. I finger pick a few songs=Alices's Restaurant, Stagger Lee, Malaguena etc, do some ZZ Top, play some Eagles, I've played the Joe Walsh Funk 49 since it was released, I do some Pure Prairie League, Marshall Tucker, Heart, Skynyrd, a lot of Willie, etc. Just a mixed bunch of stuff. I do some Gilmour Pink Floyd. Not the hard stuff though. He's incredible. I go acoustic and electric. And, Bob Dylan, of course.
