| | Blues guitaring... a musical challenge...Page 2 of 2 (1, 2) | | I completely agree heyjazz, 100%, overanalyzing will also stop you in your tracks, pardon the pun, in most any attempt to write an original peice. If you are succesful writing something with that mindset alone (all pre-learned techniques and no personal, original, fly by the seat of your pants creativity) it will be emotionless, boring, and mundane. I'd rather sit down for three hours and write a good solid 90 seconds worth of original creative track than sit for three hours and write two hours worth of something that sounds like any given blues artist out there that came before you. Learn from technique and incorporate it, don't use it as a foundation or a replacement for emotion and your own creativity. Jmo, of course. | |

Albert king with them deep bends that go away beyond the rules of music to bring those feelings to the resolution nothing beats that. Robert Johnson I cant play like him, but sometimes I fiddle on the guitar, I end up making singing the lyrics or broken chords to 32 20 blues, or Me and the Devil hehe. John lee hooker is tricky with his strumming, but it like dancing, and strummin at the same time. Blues is personal expression, and love Jamming to blues because its about feeling then making sure the notes are within a Dorain, or Mixaeoylin scale pattern.  | |

Posted: 6/6/2007 7:58:15 PM | rubato...or legato?...the former means one hand to rob the other, so for this to take effect, i believe-and i may be wrong, you'd have to have 3 hands, 2 on the fretboard.lizt was accused of rubato, chopin as well.legato-to play behind the beat...anyways i'm more of a chicken-pickin' kind a guy, but to each his own.

Posted: 7/9/2007 9:44:32 PM | Guys this is a great post....as a music addict and a former vocalist....this thread brings back awesome memories. I am into both jazz and blues....their is a small club in Charlotte, NC that is a legend in blues circles...The Double Door Inn....played there in college...guys like Tinsley Ellis and The Fabulous Thunderbirds were regulars. Incredible local talent as well. The first live jazz performance that I say was Pat Metheny....hooked after that. Charlie 'Bird' Parker's music can make you almost wish you lived in Harlem in the 40s. Don't know if any of you saw the movie Clint Eastwood produced as a tribute....check it out...'The Bird", and then of course there is Weather Report and their tribute...'Birdland'. Surprised that one of you didn't mention Nina Simone. But by and far the best live performance that I've seen was Clapton play with Santana...if you can locate any of the footage during that show...you'll know what I mean. I'm not a musician...can't comment on different guitar styles, but have seen some of the greats....BTW your technical discussions are fascinating.
