Um..perfect solo for a blues gig?

The first giveaway is that he is not wearing shorts and white sneakers. How can you play the whitey blues without shorts and white sneakers?

Not just any shorts and sneakers, gotta be cargo shorts and New Balance.

Why does the bassist need two guitars? They all sound the same, don't they?

Well, if you're going to do the uniform right, you will need boat shoes, khakis, Izod shirt and a shiny, new PRS. But then again, those guys typically have trouble with anything more than a quarter note.

That’s too loud for Jazz. Jazz is a fear based music, that’s why it’s always played so quietly.

It didn’t used to be. Just let me boot up and grab my trumpet and let’s get weird.

There is a word for playing like that at a blues gig..... It's called 'fired'.

Watched a different vid with him and some guys doing laid back jazz stuff.... He 'can' play... But, it didn't take long and here comes what I call waterfall riff.... Same riff, just walk it up or walk it down..... Just a bunch of fast shit that says nuttin.... Wankeriffic....

Larry can say more with one single bend....because it'll be in the exact perfect place, with perfect rate of bend, land perfectly on target, and hold for the perfect time....

I know several players that can blister like the OPie vid... They are eternally one of two things, 'at the house' or do 'hired gun band' jobs.... Nobody will play with them on any reg basis....

A bud of mine did a pickup gig with one of those type guys/bands... all hired guns... He asked me about the guy and I told him he books shit when there ain't even a band, no song list, no rehearsal, and he's bat shit. Brace yo damn self.... Told him to have fun, it was one gig, although a dive he'd make good geet for one night, but don't join any discussion about any further gigs with him until AFTER this gig is over.... His response to me the day after the gig? 'GFD! That MF is out of his MF mind...Loud ass wanking to the point I couldn't hear a MF thing. All MF Night....' ...and my bud doesn't cuss much.

I'll occasionally ask him when their next gig is.... ' FYATHYRIO!'

You don't get that it is all about the feel and the emotion of the suburban mini van struggle in the note. And the space between the notes. The space is so important to express the emotion for Panera Bread sandwiches and artisan coffee.

I think the real problem was how high he had that guitar strap cinched up.

Y'all ain't experienced the Waffle House Blues....

Get a couple hunnert 4am visits to Waffle House and you'll know the Waffle House Blues....

Waiting for the batteries.

The guy played some fast lines but I could hear every single note. He played in rhythm. He played in key. He used nice vibrato and phrasing. But he didn’t try to sound like BB King so it sucked lol.

So basically you're saying he was Joe Bonamassa?

Dibs on the band name!

 

[slug_maine]

Needs more cowbell.

 

[EasyAce]

sounds like fusion. Frank Gamble style and such.

Pretty cool.

Improv is cool.

Improv is cool.

The sound and playing in the vid is not.

Then maybe we need a little more fear and a lot less [email protected] noise.

 

[Kamen_Kaiju]

Music is subjective

That's why there's so much of it
