Hello friends, I've decided to make this thread about a kind of music that I love, since all the other blues threads I've found ended up failing after half a dozen posts or so. I should clarify, I'm not talking about Eric Clapton and his rich white-guy blues, I'm refering to the authentic American blues, mostly of Southern origin.

It's inspired me to incorporate slide into my guitar playing as well. Anybody get the lowdown shakin' chill that is the blues?

As a member of a 'rich white boy blues band' (even though I hardly make enough to pay rent... :rolleyes: ), I've got to say - this is where the true soul of music comes from. Always gotta appreciate the classics.

Oh come on! No love for the blues here at all? I guess shitty rap and brostep really have taken over.

Any one down for some hank 3? How about getting drunk and falling down? Any song off of the rebel within really. Not sure what genre it is but it could be its own kinda blues. (at least i tried helping this thread out) Not sure how to post a you tube vid so you do it lol:confused:

White people like to swarm into good music and ruin it. White people are yet to create a genre of music that doesn't suck.

I do love me some Blind Willie J. He's the only one I've found that can rival Son House in the intensity of his slide playing. Even Robert Johnson could never match them. I finally got around to purchashing Willie's Complete Recordings a few days ago.
