Re: It's difficult to concentrate on blues when ....
If you do go to Loch Ness for a paddle remember to pick your spot carefully - it's 750 feet deep (230 m)! Apparently contains more fresh water than all the lakes of England and Wales combined - well all our rain has to go somewhere. :alright: Glad to see you back on the forums safely after all the ...

Re: Bluesy babbling (excerpt)
Thanks folks! OldRusty... :high5: yes, sometimes I feel so. But then again, looking at my youngest :baby: I know that I have to wait some years before I'm allowed to retire... :wink: Anyway, I have to work on pitch and timing, stepping out of my comfort zone. Today I played with my son again, some S...

Bluesy bends
OK, here's my humble take after some weeks without practice. But - it's getting better. :dance: Looks like precise bends have really a lot to do with consant practice! While I can play some fingerpicking songs instantly without thinking it's harder to bend a string to the right pitch and put a vibra...

Re: Greetings
I have clumsily disguised all the titles by translating them somewhat crudely into Italian. Anyone who knows Italian - and many who don't - should be able to figure them out immediately. :rofl: Great idea! With my upcoming annually holidays in Italy a nice way to check my skills... :thumbsup: Did a...

Re: Bluesy babbling (excerpt)
Good idea!
Just back on my guitar after 3 weeks or so now jamming and bending to your upload. Maybe you'll upload the BT and everyone who's
interested records some 12bars or so with focus on good and bad bends... (I'm currently good on bad bends with lacking practice )

You're right, it's hard not to look cool with a sax/sunglasses/hat combo...

Re: String bending technique ?
Hi Fredm, the first rule to learn for playing Blues is: forget the rules (well, at least most of them) and LISTEN. Players like John Lee Hooker or Albert King played against many rules and still can bring you to tears. If you follow your feeling and just try it (or listen to good players), you may f...
