Geetar_Axl Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Man I love the Blues, many, MANY people would be surprised to hear that about me. Its got so much god damn feeling, it spews emotion. And I need some songs and riffs! I did hear one of Slash's Snakepits songs. Something Working...I dunno but it was powerfull, yet slow and simple. Hit me up with em'! BTW, does anyone know that song Gibson use of the media sample for the Les Paul Standard on the USA website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Well, from some of our well kown heros, there's Since I've Been Loving You and Tea For One by Led Zep. There's a great take on an old classic Key To the Highway on Claptons Deric and the Dominos album. Him and Duane Allman do some great give and take stuff with Duane of course on slide. Going way back you got : Elmore James - Dust My Broom (an even older Rober Johnson song) The Things I Used To Do - Guitar Slim Ridin In The Moonlight - Howlin Wolf Hide Away - Freddie King Man I could go on forever? Don't forget Lonnie Mack with his Gibson Flying V! A Strat isn't the only guitar for the blues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

led floyd9 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 How about "Crossroads" by Cream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 There's a lot of great players out there. Check out Muddy Waters, BB King, Freddie King, John Lee Hooker, Junior Watson, Coco Montoya, and Walter Trout. Here's a very cool video of Rick Holmstrom that I really dig: Not exactly blues, but also check out Booker T & the MGs with Steve Cropper on guitar.

deepblue Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 "Just a good man feelin bad" Howlin Wolf is on my cd player right now. Smokestack lightning. Thats Evil, Killing Floor, the list goes on and on. I love the blues. It didnt speak to me untill I was in my late 20's....but now its my standard. You want blues playing?...You want tone, feel, drive and emotion? Stevie Ray Vaughan. Nobody does it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rybass Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Right now: Sean Costello (RIP) R.L. Burnside J.L. Hooker The Black Keys for some simple dirty blues rock My lady has some John Mayer live stuff and wow that dude can play. He covers some SRV almost to the T and has a number of good originals. He's not all pop for 14 year old girls and child molesters after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This one goes to 11 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 SRV - Tin Pan Alley (plus everything else in his catalogue) ZZ Top - Blue Jean Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Pick up the SRV Texas Flood video... that should feed your blues craving. :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'm surprised by how many people have mentioned SRV; He was great but I consider him to be more of a rock player with a heavy blues influence, but not really a blues player per se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Blues: Robert Johnson, BB King, Albert King, Feddie King, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Early Jeff Beck, EC, Hendrix.... Most (all) modern players are derivitve of those...and other older Blues players. That's not a "dis," on current players, it's just a fact. BB King invented most of the "licks" modern players used...and the vibrato, especially, out of necessity...he couldn't play "Slide" like his his cousin Bukka White, so he simulated it, by inventing his signature style, which everyone else, then copied. But, you're quite right... most of the "Blues" comes from within! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKingN Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Muddy Waters! Its more voice driven but there is some awesome licks in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Muddy Waters! Its more voice driven but there is some awesome licks in there. I have a old Muddy Waters album called I'm Ready with awsome guitar and harp plaing on it. If I'm not mistaken, Johnny Winter is playing much, if not all of the guitar. Highly recommend.

charlie brown Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Just to name a very few: John Mayall's Bluesbreakes with Eric Clapton (AKA "The Beano Album") BB King, "Live At The Regal," Super Session (Al Kooper, Mike Bloomfield, Stephan Stills), "Electric Flag," (Mike Bloomfield, Buddy Miles, Barry Goldberg, Harvey Brooks, Nick Gravenites, and assorted others), Paul Butterfield Blues band, with either (or both) Mike Bloomfield, Elvin Bishop... And, of course, many, many, Albert King, BB King, Freddy King, CD's. "Damn Right I got the Blues," by Buddy Guy is good, as is his "greatest hits" CD.... BLues Rock....(original)Yardbirds, Hendrix, Cream, Allman Brothers, Humble Pie, Ten Years After (Alvin Lee)...etc. Also, more "rhythm & blues" maybe, but the first few "Chicago" albums/CD's, with Terry Kath, on guitar! Monster guitar player! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
