The Bad News is Coming - My rendition

Improvised - This work was influenced by one of the greatest (and one of the least recognized) Blues artists - The late Luther Allison. For this song I put a drum, bass, and rhythm guitar track together to solo over in light of the original work. If you are a fan of Blues greats such as BB King or Buddy Guy, then you should really check out Luther Allison.

Dear Karl

At age 44 I decided to learn to play guitar and in 3 months I made a good progress however you totally inspired me.I am an artist (painter)in real life and don't be surprised when I'll send my check for your CD.

What would you advise for budding blues guitarist to start learning.

Great job!Thanks

Hey there! Thank you for your kind words. If I were to give any advice it would be to learn music... and never stop. Just keep working away at your favorite blues works and then, before you know it, you'll be somewhere that before was seemingly impossible. Play with soul - and not by a "rule book".

heart of the renditions , but then on youre own way , then you would treuly be great and that is what i wish for you

[Drivel101]

Thanks a lot for the critique. I'll will keep in mind everything you said. I am nowhere near Stevie in terms of improv, but I hope to be some day (and I'll keep working towards that goal).

Hey you had me--till about halfway through. Some real fresh and innovative playing, nice articulation, nuance picking and emotion. Nice space for feeling and dynamics--but then the cluttered, shredding jumped in.Remember less is more--especially playing the blues.
