@Gonzoidzz Its ass not "arse". Dumb brit! Well Blues's words mean alot to me and his playing . Your words mean nothing to me at all. Where's your video? Where's your record deal? you probably think Kirk Hammlet is awesome ha? LOL silly kids......
@Gonzoidzz I understand your frustration from lack of knowledge. Although somewhat amusing . You are wrong on Blues not having a record deal. As a teen he played with Jack Bruce and Ginger baker of "Cream" and went on to do recording sessions with Cher, He also filled in for Richie Kotsen after kotzen got fired from Poison. only later to score a record deal with "Beyond records" he is in the studio now working on a new solo record. Either way you look at it Blues has made it. And youhaven't
Has he a record deal now, a-hole? I know his history, I can check wiki as well dumbo. How has he 'made it' ? I suppose shifting a few units in the early 90's to mostly Japanese and fanboy muppets like you qualifies as 'making it'. I'd say he's highly obscure by any definition. Guitar wankers are dime a dozen. He can't write a great riff or lyric, just blow unmemorable 80's generic metal guitar over a repetitive and dull riff. Just like Paul Gilbert and all those other wankers.
@Gonzoidzz Where's your video? Humor me a little... No matter how YOU look at it. This guy has talent enough to do what he does. he is a well known hard working musician. Again one thing he has and you do not is......TALENT.. Show us your video. Guys like you make me laugh all you want to do is tare talented people down. Where's your video to back up what you think this guy is lacking? i wanna hear your brilliant playing.
How is he well known? Well known in guitar wanker circles and in some LA studios? I don't doubt he can shred away all day and impress fanboy assclowns like you but originality zero, it's just rehashed kitschy EVH etc... And how do you know what talent I do or don't have? lol! You hope I've no talent u mean! Nah, you wouldnt know talent if it slapped you in the face.. Away and listen to your cowabunga guitar wanker widdly diddly diddy doo muzak.
This particular guitar was Blue's number one. It featured a 4X2 headstock (look closely) which differs from the 3x3 production version of his TV Twenty and Radio Ten models. Also, the plaid finish on this was crafted by Dan Lawrence and as you can see, surrounds the entire body where the plaid Samicks built for production only had a top graphic. I haven't seen many videos where Blues actually plays the stock versions of his Samicks, I wonder how he felt about them. I love mine.
if you are wondering how does he get the "wha" sound its not a pedal.. its how he uses the whammy bar.. whammy bar + artificial armonics = that weird sound..
It's so cool how Blues's sound comes just from his fingers. It doesn't matter if he plays a guitar or a broomstick, that signature vibe is always there.
Dude what are you talking about? F# mixolydian IS the same as B major with an F# root. This is blues rock, dude. It's essentially mixolydian with some blues scale notes thrown in.
this guy really does have it all. sounds like he's from the VH school of killer tone and crazy but soulful phrasing, but definitely in a space all his own.
One of the best, Blues combines killer tone, excellent vibratto, and clean flawless chops for some of the sweetest playing I've heard. All 3 CD's are excellent, even his work with Poison rocked. Put out anther solo CD Blues!
I read an interview a couple years ago in which he said there would be no point in releasing any more instrumental guitar CD's, since there's no market for them.
You would put in the time and expense of recording a CD and releasing it when there's no market for it, and no chance of recouping what you've spent, for "the fun of it"?
love blues playing, great tone also, fresh pentatonic based ideas with brilliant feel, i love that sound! for anyone interested i just bought an ernie ball axis supersport and would well reccomend it, great for this type of sound!
His phrasing is fucking insane. I think he's more like a super EVH with a little Nuno in it, but he sounds so unique, you know it's him even if he's playing a lyre.
that sammick guitar is a custom made for blues sarraceno signature guitar, guerra play blues composition as well. but its blues S. original composition and performance..
His instructional video is really good. He definately thinks outside the box on melodies and his "semi tones" scream of his Beck influence. If you dont have any of his solo stuff you should try to pick it up.
I really dig this guy's tone. I agree with the other guy that it's old fashioned, but I take that as a plus. His phrasing is really cool. Reminds me of a cross between Van Halen & Jeff Beck.
well no doubt he's gifted but i really don't like it. this sound is so old fashionned. btw check out more recent video of him i think it's way better now!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... All this 80's wanking needs to go away. And enough with the over-hyper-overdriven angry bees tone already! Give me a *stock* LP Standard plugged straight into a Fender Champ ANY-flippin'-day!
Great player but tone n licks are from the same "bag" as alot of the shrapnels wappnels,he got more feel as he got older,not knockin him though hes very good,just this examples flat
Awesome..
