DanvillRob Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I can't speak for the others, but I didn't say/mean people can be too young to understand the blues. What I said was that some people haven't lived enough to understand them. You can "learn the blues" at a very young age if that's the life you've lived. You can be 95 years old and STILL not ever lived long enough to understand the blues, (i.e. Malcom Forbs, or Howard Hughes), or you can be 27 and very much lived long enough, (i.e. Janice Joplin or Jimi Hendrix). Now I have to get scarce here as I'm putting together the payraises for all my people for 2010....GOT to get it done at to payroll by the end of the week!!

Big Bill Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Is that kind of like the Buffalo Bill thing in Silence of the Lambs? :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'll agree with the "figuring songs by ear..." What I like to do is take full or keyboard arrangements and figure them out for guitar. That ends up with kinda a pre-television piano "jump" or "stride" sometimes but... heck, it's fun. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Playing Live!! That's really what the whole thing is about, isn't it? Sharing your gift, and making people happy. Nothing's more rewarding than finishing someones favorite song and watching them thrust their fist in the air and holler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Favorite thing? It is a tie: Playing live, seeing reactions of the audience and knowing that what you have done has affected people. Noodling around at home, just messing around with chord progressions and solo lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
