Blues guitar

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Astonishing live, his albums, except Irish Tour ‘74, don’t do him justice.

Perfectly summed up - I don't really listen to his studio stuff for that very reason.

Same with early stuff from The Who and anything sung by Elvis.

This chick, who has been mentioned, can certainly slide the blues...

She's brilliant, I'm going to see her when she's over here next March.

If you are looking for blues with a bit of class and subtlety on top, rather than just 12 bar, look no farther than Ritchie Blackmore. Best ever when he puts his mind to it

Saw Rory G live a couple of times in late 70's and he was superb. Those gigs were absolute riots: the boy could get a crowd going. Much preferred him live to Clapton: far more energy. Clapton does make playing the guitar look easy though.

Rory's live shows were an experience. Simply the best guitarist (blues or otherwise) that I have ever seen live. Saw him over here in Boston right before he sadly passed. He still had the same old battered Fender Strat and probably the same checked shirt that he was wearing back in the 70's...:)

Sorry!! Jimmy Hendrix for me is the best ever. Could do it all. Not only a great showman and singer, his technique which to this day is unmatched. Just ask anybody who can play how difficult it is to play his music as he played it. I don’t mean note by note. I mean the the notes in the way he played them.
His soul and ingenuity and this is the biggest thing for me..... his taste. Genius and still ahead of his time.

Those buttons must have been screaming.....
