Could be worse, some ailments here and there, but I hope age is just a number like some people say
But I need more time to play
Currently trying the BB King style.

Sad but beautiful!
Jeff would be proud of it. Completely different to his version, but fits the song well. Great tone.

A sad loss. R.I.P.

Lesser known, but simply great:

Mmh is 65 old ?

Years ago I thought so. Now, being 60+ myself, I'd say no way.

EC on his epic solo from Wheels of Fire:
"Most of ['Crossroads'] solo is on the wrong beat, instead of playing on the 2 and the 4, I’m playing on the 1 and the 3 thinking, that’s the off beat."

Sounds as if he now tries to fix this.

to the old folks blues board!
9 strings?
Way too many for my small hands

Lucky guy! Sounds great, with a great swing in it!
Also the tone is quite nice and jazzy.

Yeah, we had a worldwide Facebook and Instagram downtime yesterday which increased traffic here!

"Blues is a good man feeling bad", so there are not many really happy blues songs out there. But there are a lot of songs in a major key, which may be what you are searching for, like Sweet Home Chicago. :bb: You may also look at BB King, who preferred major scales on most of his songs lik...

As always life gets in the way - happy holidays! :xmas_1: Very busy year, at least I managed to visit London after so many years. Still playing a bit, but not recording anything. Released my first book on lost and dark places here in northern Germany, which was a lot of extra work. But now time to r...

Hi and welcome, sorry for the late answer.
Sounds as if EC played it in A (A,D,E) instead of E in his acoustic versions. Chord progression is simple Blues.
The acoustic one is tabbed here: https://12bar.de/cms/albums/unplugged/# ... ouAccuseMe

In my country retirement starts with 67, but my plan is to quit earlier with a little less money.
More time to play, I hope. Less time than before, others say.

Hi HbL, glad to hear you're still around! Breaking bones is among the things that get easier the older you get. :away: Get well soon! And keep on playing as long as you can. I still try to do, but daily business sometimes gets in the way :phew: At least I got some tickets on my birthday for Greta va...

Hendrix' home in London was nice, too. So many places to view...

Finally I did it. Guess what address I visited

A great blues performer, too
