thats total bullshit. I dare you to post a video of that ever happening once at any stage of the competition. I've watched the store preliminaries every week and the judges have always picked the right two guys. all of the grand finalists every year have been real blues players, except for maybe alex johnson who was more funk.

unfourtuneatly king of the blues is king of the shrues..techniques are looked for not blues playing...many shredders and tappers keep getting the nod instead of the true blues player

[Tyrone Good]

You are freakin' SO GOOD wow....

[John Quint]

AMAZING!



[mcwhorterr]

Nice! Takes some guts to show your stuff, too, Pete, with every "young gun" that thinks they are all that tuning in to see this! Enjoyed it.

[Ed Seith]

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing... "More great stuff I'm just no Goddamn good at!"

Thanks for a great set of backing tracks. Something for everyone, and it's amazing at how many styles I suck at too! Always something to learn for sure.  Cheers!
