I love how blues guys always have cool nicknames like this guy Roger "Hurricane" Wilson and Sam "Lightnin" Hopkins. I dont know many other blues players but i think you all feel my drift. One day i hope i earn a cool nickname like these guys...

i like the beginning where he talks about the blues.

You can play anyway you feel you need to.. playin w/ a regular pick while finger picking is sometimes called chicken pickin. . . and its awesome. Stringing these licks together that Hurricane teaches will make you an much better guitarist and more important more creative

Some good tips, but Lightnin' played with a thumb pick.

Just as i like a repetative blues song,
