Buddy Guy...........One of the best  Can't compare it to EC, SRV, JIMI. He's the reason why they got good licks...................

MICHAEL 'Mike' BLOOMFIELD


The music precedes the man. Very few here knew the genius of this great Chicago bluesman. I only have to hear him once (Super Session with Al Kooper) for me to say this is the best blues guitar player ever to have awed and inspire me. Very loose and fluid improvisation. I have never seen anyone who has the heart and soul in playing blues guitar without any 'yabang', just pure passion! He is sorely missed.

trivia: it was bloomfield who discovered and introduced the young Johnny Winter into the music world.

Nadiscover ko si Mike Bloomfield not too long ago when I was reading a top 10 list of best guitar solos, instant fan agad ako! Unang pakinig ko ng Albert's shuffle, I felt the same way when I heard Hendrix and Albert Collins play the blues! Albert Collins naman when I heard the song If trouble was money, instant fan din ako! Maraming mas sikat at highly revered blues musicians like BB King, Albert King, SRV,  that i love. But Hendrix, Bloomfield, and Collins inspire me the most pag blues.

Got tired of listening to blues, i should have a daily dose of blues. Wait, sinu kaya hahaha.

[j.nikko3123]

SRV!

[Jellybean]

Buhayin ko lang...

I got hooked into listening and playing blues because of John Mayer although he is not my best inspiration. I learned that he was heavily influenced by SRV, BB King and Hendrix and these 3 started it for me.

Learning SRV's and Hendrix's songs expanded the horizon in my playing style and on the way I approach learning new songs (I avoid barre chords as much as possible  )

I also listen to Albert King, Jeff Buckley, Buddy Guy, and Kakoy Legaspi's bluesy stuff. I'm sure there are more but these are the ones I can think of right now


P.S. I might raise some eyebrows with what I'm about to say next but...
I never really liked Clapton    Peace

Less is more! lol
Anyway, kakapanood ko kay Mateus Asato napadpad ako sa videos ni Guthrie Trapp, Josh Smith and Robben Ford. I learned a new scale, "diminished scale" pero di ko pa alam pano incorporate sa blues try ko sa backing tracks.
at least di na ko puro pentatonic scale hehe

That's funny, Tinnie. To be honest, kayo ni psychic_sushi a.ka. Anton ang blues idols ko.

My first brush with the blues was Jeff Beck's 'Wired' album..

I admit that I'm not really too fond of the Hendrix, Clapton, or BB King styles, but there's something about Beck's playing that sets him apart from his peers ..

His solo on 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat' is my textbook case of a classic blues solo - in terms of tone and phrasing. It's amazing how he builds up from whisper-soft levels and cranks it up to that searing, distorted tone .. To this day, that song still sends chills up my spine

I haven't seen any of his videos before, so you can just imagine how ecstatic I was upon finding all those rare, historic clips at youtube.com
Beck is best heard AND seen! It's amazing to see him playing with just his fingers - thumbing his notes, 'heeling' the bridge to get that trademark flutter ..

Unfortunately, I don't quite dig his newer albums' 'techno' touch. I still prefer to hear him in the traditional four or five piece band setting.
