The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

Nice post Blackhorse - listening to what the other players are doing and reacting creatively to it is good advice. It adds hugely to the enjoyment of creating music too. :banana: Another helpful thing I find which has something in common with what you've said:- Imagine your guitar is singing, has lu...
