[peihong33]

how come old time blues guts can never play guitar? Maybe they don't know how to tune it? Or maybe the humidity in the South warps the guitar necks.

@peihong33 This is authentic. Stevie Ray Vaughan is not. Get it now?

[peihong33]

@colonycollapse You mean authentically bad guitar playing? In that case, I agree. I was just wondering why the guitar playing has to be so awful with these 'authentic' types. I'm not attacking their heart-felt fevor (although I do find their intense religiosity a little nuts); just wondering why they cant get a few chords straight.

@peihong33 im sorry you dont like his playing or the style of chords he wants to play. if you dont dig the tone thats cool man. its just not nice to say those things, even online. its not that they cant get a few chords straight its possibly the fact that they dont want to play the same things you want to hear. live with it mate.

@peihong33 The guitar playing on old blues is less virtuoso than it is now on blues simply because:

1: in those days you worked all your life because you didn't dare to dream bout a music career

2: True music=emotion. At least the blues is, you just play what you feel.. If you don't feel so good, you're defintely not gonna play beautifull sweeping arpeggios and such

3: We judge from what we know now, they learned from what they knew back then.

4:You sir, are a lost online metalhead!!
