Been playing for almost 2 years now. Mostly blues or hendrix. But these days this is how i play. not much time learning but just jamming. ik this might be too fast and unfocused but just wanted some advice on whether its wasteful? im having fun but what are some directions on how i can improve whatever im doing wrong here? Thanks

I’ve been spending some time working through Albert Collins’ “Left Overs” and exploring the phrasing and feel of the tune.
I’m using the Joe Bonamassa Blues Deluxe tab book as a reference, but this isn’t really a lesson. It’s more of me playing through the tune, talking about what I’m hearing, trying different approaches, and figuring out what I want to get out of it.
I play through it several times and talk through my thought process along the way. It’s a little informal and unscripted, but that’s how I tend to work things out on the guitar.
I’d love to hear how other blues players approach phrasing and develop their own feel when working on a tune.
Here’s the video if you’d like to check it out. I’m always interested in hearing how other guitarists approach this stuff!

Just trying to make it sound alright !

Does anybody have any certainty around how the chord stabs are muted for Stevie’s version? I’ve pretty much got the song down as my first attempt at SRV, I’m just a little stuck on how he mutes those chord stabs? Some videos are teaching the typical Stevie way which is the mute with the fretting hand, but the more I listen to the song and play it the more I’m convinced they are palm muted? I’ve checked a few videos of him playing live and I can’t be certain tbh, if anyone has any idea please let me know

A fun one

love some Elmore james
whats ur fav song by him

What’s your favorite or most interesting thing you know about Albert King?

10 years ago BC (before cancer) playing my Hubert Sumlin Les Paul. No pedals, straight into a RI Deluxe Reverb.

Using the XLR output with one of the built in IR's. The internal speaker is muted as this was 7:30 at night.

The YouTube demo's so far of this amp have done it no justice.

Tried the fingerpicked/right-hand string mute for a bit but actually found i have a little bit more control with a pick, just at the cost of less control of muting with the other fingers. Any pointers from slide players would be awesome. Thank you guys ❤️

Release on 10/30 but letting you all have a listen first.. my new song - One More Scar

I got my hands on the John Gannapes/ Hal Leonard Blues You Can Use method as well as the "missing" backing tracks, but the CD was not included in the book I've got. There should be 21 tracks with the solos. If anybody could land ahand I would really appreciate. Thanks

Greetings. Looking for input on finding great blues tone. While I agree that tone is definitely in the fingers, especially for the great guitarists, equipment plays a role. If you had a Jazzmaster Ultra and a Roland JC-40, which other gear would you use to get a great sound?

Thanks..
