Chord based blues solos.

Thanks bro!

That was a challenge to learn. The blues is fun for playing solos. Since I've been jamming blues with these older guys, I've learned alot about the guitar, that I didn't know, from learning about the blues.


Well, you're gonna make me practice more with a challenge like that! 8)

Man, you are really lucky to have those jam sessions every week. I have been looking for a blues based jam in or around gulfport on the weekend, but all I can find is plenty of bluegrass. Unless I moved to the Delta and stand at the Crossroads......Mmmmm :roll:

I only get to go twice a month now that I started working shift work again....SUX!

But, it gives me time to learn and apply new ideas. I was about to start taking lessons again until I started jamming with them. I was in a rut for a while but going there sparked it off to learn something new. I wasn't even a blues player before I went there so imagine my first solo there. LOL

They also play Swamp Pop music. So, I'm learning blues and music that is part of my heritage. 8)

LULUSG - Does anyone actually play da blues anymore in Mississippi or did it die with R L Burnside?  If the blues lives in its home still what's (who's) hot?

Hi Elliot, there is an organized movement to preserve the blues in ms, the delta being the strongest, different parties involved, schools, donors, concerts, but that is still recent. Just today a lady hand me a flyer with the name of Cedric Burnside, also David Kimbrough jr. Both respective sons,( I read that Junior Kimbrough had  36 children). As in the beginning Elliot, it was up to the British, and French to appreciate the music very few people care for here in the States. Thanks for that.  :)
