Kinda messing around with the Little Wing track, any tips ?
He is nominated for best contemporary blues album with “Blues Deluxe 2”.
I just listened to all the albums nominated and I think his is the best.
Ruthie Fosters album “Mileage” is a contender in my opinion, but I think he has her beat.
And I have NO idea why Shemekia Copelands “Blame it on Eve” was nominated. It was painful for me to get through. Can someone explain to me what I’m missing with that one? It seems very much unworthy of a nomination to me.
I liked Steven Croppers “Friendlytown” and Antonio Vergagas “The Fury”. Both of those are good! They certainly have their moments. I don’t think either are competition for Ruthie Fosters and Joe Bonamassas albums though.
Hey, i’m a senior in high school looking to apply to music school, and am looking for potential audition pieces for guitar. Particularly for Berklee, I think some of his marcus king band work could be suitable options to show proficiency across the board (rhythm, lead, etc). I can’t find notation (tabs, sheet music, videos of other people playing for reference, etc) for any of these songs though (fraudulent waffle, booty stank, thespian espionage, etc). I’m not against learning these songs by ear, but it would save time and allow me more time to focus on perfecting the pieces to have any of these resources.
Does anyone happen to have any of these? Thanks!
And there’s some subjectivity of course. But where are you on your journey with blues? If you’ve reached the level you’re happy with, that’s really what matters. If you feel you need to push yourself more, then you’re still on your way. I think it’s OK to fall short of what others might say is the top, but your bar may be set in a different place. So where are you on your track?
More from this home jam session I did last week
Working on mixing dorian/mixolydian with my blues scale
Just started out playing guitar. Learning blues, which is why I am posting here.
Playing a cheap off-brand Tele.
Looking for a small 10w - 20w amp.
What would you recommend for me?
Also, which looper pedal would be worth it?
Ideally, cheap enough, because I will upgrade guitar, amp, and pedals when my playing/skill deserves it.
TIA
I bought the slide but damn did the guitar sound good too. Imagine carrying all that metal through the airports. 😮💨😪
Lemme know what you think, I guess I'm an intermediate player but I've stayed firmly planted in the same pentatonic box for a while now, as you'll hear in my many repeated licks. Anyways I've been practising more lately and wondered what others may think. 👍
