You dont have blues "soul"

I am saying 'whaoo it's amazing!' I wouldn't for a second mistake it for BB K, but the feel and timing is great . Wasn't looking for a clone

... And a BIG MAN's left hand, of course !

@ralphgull Do you have any idea of how ridiculous that comment is? Please feel free to take your manly hands and stick them where the sun doesn't shine...

[ralphgull]

@matt301273 Sorry, man, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to mention that to play like BB King, it's more in the way you play the notes than in the notes themselves. Sorry if it hurts. Have a nice week end and press those strings :-)

[matt301273]

@ralphgull Tell you what then, why don't you put up a video yourself showing us all how it's done...?

[ralphgull]

@matt301273 I'm in a Robert Johnson trip, right now, that's why. Don't hang on that much on your ego... You can't always have people saying "whaoo, it's amazing !" Don't you know ? You sure play the right notes, but strings have to be pressed very hard in Blues guitar. I know you know. I'm not your ennemy :-) By improving the way you PRESS the strings, you will sound great and I will be happy for you. Really.

To play like BB King, you MUST have a man's right hand... Not a boy's right hand... Sorry :-)
