Stop Breakin' Down blues (the "Wish I Was Jimmy Page" take)

Some more sauce for you, full of sloppy, fast, aggressive blues leads, hopefully in the spirit of Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. I was going through my hard drive and I found this extra take of a solo blues Robert Johnson cover I've already uploaded two versions of, but, hey, I really liked it, so, I thought I'd post it as a respoonse to JustinSandercoe's excellent beginning acoustic blues video, as an inspiration to anyone watching that as to where they could go if they stick with it.

Now if I could learn to do it with a teaspoon like Hannes Coetzee, I'd really have something.

As always, please pardon my vocals.

and if you were Stevie Ray Vaughan?

[GuitaristInProgress]

Heh. Good question. I'll have to work on that.

The 'Blues' don't have to be understood, to be enjoyed! The more you understand, however, the better 'IT' gets! The 'roots' are deep and wide!

:c)

Your channel is great!!! I've stumbled upon Greatness!!! Hope some 'rubs off'!  HaHa :cD

Well... what passes for modesty is actually perfectionism... I hear the flaws in my playing all too clearly. Plus I have a job that requires good communication skills (computer consultant... I deal with clients all day.)

[GuitaristInProgress]

Wow... that list is amazing... he's even got a Danelectro Electric Sitar!

I saw the US Premiere of Tubular Bells II... they had 4 guitarists on stage, constantly switching off between 25 (!!) guitars and basses. At any given moment three of them were playing and one was running across the stage to swap guitars. It was like a ballet.

You seem laid back and that makes you easy to admire...Your modesty does not hurt you either...Not EVERY musician NEEDS to be a super multi-tasker to entertain me...Also, I get a sense you understand the problems with perception of the written word, especially in modern English. Many people are hard to understand when they write because of so many words that are easily mis-perceived. Life is too short to get worked up over a few words... A bad novel on the other hand and I want blood, lol...

dannyknapp, Think about the above quote the next time you fire up a metronome or a pipe bowl of herbal material, lol...I liked your comment. I also like Gypsy Jazz, hehehe

Some say Bob Dylan sings terrible too. I like Bob Dylan's unusual vocals. Our ears all send similar signals; our brains don't all process those signals in the identical pathways and so we often perceive 'good' and 'bad' quite differently. The old saying goes; 'To each his own'... For some people there is NO good OR bad...ironviking13 consider this:

He has at least a half dozen pieces of E-mu gear to my ONE E-mu controller. He knows how to play his too (unlike me, lol)...
