at some point in my life, probably around 58 if i make it that far, ill be on my boat with my modeler learning blues licks
 
I love SRV but that dude ushered in a hoard of total bullshit. And that shit put a stain on blues. Now I hate blues and I never want to play blues. Blues originally was poor black dudes just tryin to somehow get by. Then it became posers in zoot suits...with a Gucci belt of harmonicas.

But blues is the base of rock and thus my playing. So I cant escape it, it's in my playing DNA.

Its a progression. Listen to early EVH...it's a bunch of Billy Gibbons/Clapton/Montrose/Hendrix licks repurposed...with pizazz. And those guys repurposed old blues licks...with pizazz.
I dont care who is playing or what they are wearing, but i love good blues
 
Although SRV brought about a resurgence and interest in the blues, he brought about thousands of 10th rate hack clones. Kinda like what EVH did starting in ‘’78.
With SRV, a Super Reverb, bridge- cable strings, Tube Screamer, hat, etc we’re all required.

I think it's a midwest thing.

Yeah buddy!
 
After SRV passed Blues went back to being "Calhoun Tubbs" for me.
 
I offered constructive criticism on one of his clips and he took it really bad. He's been a baby ever since.

I gotta find this post in the archives to find out who the heel is and whos the babyface

PDX is a very good player, and gets some cool tones. i wouldn't be the correct judge of his music because i don't listen to anything remotely close to the stuff he posts, though, so it isn't exactly my place to criticize the songs
