All of the mentioned artist but also Duke Robillard, Keb Mo, Johnny Winter... man the list goes on and on.

I was debating on whether or not to post it, but his tone is so incredible in that video. I'm a SRV junkie

After I saw that video I was checking out used Marshall Majors, until I saw what they're selling for these days

Where are you gonna play 200w amps?

200w of pure tube power

If you ever get one i want a demo without any attenuator/hotplate and i wan´t it cranked

I think SRV had 1 Fender Deluxe Reverbe, not 100% sure about that name on the Fender.
Then he another amp, setting one clean and the other one with a overdrive.

By the way i think Yngwie Malmsteen might be using the "Majors".
He takes some Marshall amps and put them in his garage then cranks them and have it all wired up to the studio

Yngwie's a 50w kind of guy...

Major's don't stay working for very long--they have a tendency to catch on fire...

Anything with Peter Green on it
The first three John Mayall's Bluesbreakers albums ( with Eric Clapton, A Hard Road, and Crusade)
Mike Bloomfield (Super Session, the live adventures discs)
Allman Bros (Filmore East, Ludlows Garage, Atlanta International Pop Festival)
Muddy Waters ( Chess Box)
Howlin Wolf ( Live n Cookin at Alices)
there are tons more but these will point you in the right direction

I'm doing grades soon to fill in the gaps I missed in my learning for the past few years.

The main thing is though I like blues alot I dont listen to many artists/guitarists that play mainly blues.

So could anybody suggest some good artists/guitarists to listen to and that would "influence" my playing style ??? (if you will lol )

Thanks

Check out Michael Burks for some serious Les Paul blues. He has been around for about 10 years but is not that well known. His album "Iron Man" is great, not a bad song on there.

fatherjones · 11-08-2009, 08:47 PM

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, all of the albums, plus the live album, recorded in the United States. Mike Bloomfield and Al Cooper -- both the supersession already mentioned but there's another also. Mike Bloomfield also did a neat album for Guitar Player -- instructional -- but incredible. Of course his stuff with Butterfield.

For me Green and Bloomfield are the best white guys in blues from the 60s. Though, the stuff Mick Taylor did on Exile, Sticky, Let it Bleed and Beggar's is pretty outstanding also.

zontar · 11-09-2009, 12:33 AM

Go way back
Blind Willie Johnson (great slide especially)
Blind Blake
Son House

Those kind of guys.

+1 and if you can find it, check out "From the Inside Out".

Clapton's "From the Cradle"???

Although I like Bloomfield I find him a bit anxious sometimes... almost always a little bit ahead of the beat.
