The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

Saw this on another forum, ended up being a sticky post with lots of daily posts. Just keep it goin with who you are currently listening to today. Sometimes folks will find out about artists they never knew about that plays/played the blues.

John Hammond "Get behind the mule" Good stuff.

most of the time i lisen to a lot different artiest and amateur guitar players.
I'm learning the blues from a book and from people hho can play it well.
On this forum there's a lot of people how do that and my mp3 player is also filled withe these people.

The rest is like gary moore, scorpions, bb king, eric clapton the most artiest that everybody nows

Johnny Winter Progressive Blues Experiment and Captured Live have been on my turntable a lot lately.

Can't disagree with the Peter Green & Gary Moore, they are on almost daily in my house. Also been listening to Gregor Hilden lately, has an awesome guitar collection and can play some pretty mean blues too. Don't forget Luther Allison though, seems to be very overlooked as a legend, his playing is so full of passion and feeling i thought he deserved a mention.

After listening to the Peter Green double Robert Johnson CD for several days I found myself skimming among a few things in the odd minutes today.

A group I saw nearly 40 years ago and still going strong, Stackridge's CD - A Victory for Common Sense - a favourite on it for me is "Red Squirrel" - the spirit of John Lennon / Beatles is alive and well.

Hearing some Akkerman touches on 12-bar caused a quick visit to "Focus II" - Jan Akkerman, a very melodic player, was a main influence on me wanting to play guitar. Hey - Gerd - you think that's were I got the habit of the "classical" style of vibrato you spotted on my video?

Then returning to blues with BB King and the most recent album - including "I get so weary", a title I can identify with after the last few weeks.

Hi guys, don't give me too much grief but I'm listening to John petrucci's Suspended Animation.

No grief here as I have Jeff Beck's stuff on today

Well it may not be blues, but I've been listening to The Social Network soundtrack, by Trent Reznor (of nine inch nails) and Atticus Ross. Absolutely amazing electronic tunes.

On the bluesier side of things, well soul/rhythm and blues, I've just bought Mavis Staples- You Are Not Alone.
