“The blues, the easiest to learn and the hardest to master.” BB King

Hobbiest guitar player, keeping the flame alive for my favored blues style and renewing interest in talented players I often find on SoundCloud.

Started listening to Blues players very early, I had to end up, lately, noodling self taught licks on my old hanging 80s strat.
As Jimi Hendrix once said: “Sometimes you want to give up the guitar, you’ll hate the guitar. But if you stick with it, you’re gonna be rewarded.”

Rather than trying to be anything remotely near a good player of any great technique, I'm not bound by genre or clichés. I'm happiest picking out a blues tune to a suitable backing track. The real beauty is playing without thinking and once you have the concepts down, what comes out, is from the heart.
I just enjoy listening and playing some music, in honor of that timeless way of killing time (just for the fun of it...and whenever inspired). It's second nature. After all, simple music is the hardest to play...

As a tone fiend, I like to let those bluesy guitar tones breathe a little bit. But, everything I play, almost, I have to view as a failure, in a way, because it never, ever comes out quite the way I heard it in my head. Sometimes I end up with something that's kind of close, but it's not quite what intended originally. This tracks uploaded to the cloud are no exception...

Feel free to comment good, bad or indifferent and do not hesitate to share any ideas you might have.
