The Blues

magicbus · 07-13-2005, 07:28 PM

Here goes nothing...

I've heard people talking about wanting an entire blues forum added, but I don't think we'd have enough people interested. So I decided to make a blues thread. If you love blues, blues rock, or anything else pertaining to blues, we can talk about it here.

Enjoy

To get it started, last night I had the chance to see Buddy Guy perform. Not only is he one of my favorite blues musicians, but he's also a large influence on my guitar playing. It was a great show, and he can still jam like nobody's business. Any other Buddy Guy fans?

Here is a thread where you can request/upload blues albums. Check it out and help keep it alive.

I REALLY want some Buddy Guy.

*1st post*

magicbus · 07-13-2005, 07:32 PM

I'll upload some if you'd like. I have a few songs from his early career (still looking for more), a few newer albums, and some acoustic ones as well.

I have Alone and Acoustic with Junior Wells. It's amazing. Seeing him live must have been awesome.

Schyma · 07-13-2005, 07:39 PM

As much as I REALLY want to say yes to that I'm supposed to have my computer reformated and I only have limted number of blank CD's and I have tons of music already that have to get burned off. :-/

Can you do it in like 2 weeks maybe?

magicbus · 07-13-2005, 07:40 PM

Yea no problem

Alone and Acoustic is one of the acoustic one's I have. It's awesome, and Junior Wells is a sweet harp player. I also have Blues Singer.

EDIT: I'd have to say Chicago, but I also like both a lot.

What do you guys prefer: Chicago Blues or Delta Blues?

I'm a big fan of both but I prefer delta blues. Not by much though.

Don't know the difference. I think I've heard Robert Johnson described as delta blues though, so I'll go with that one.

EightMilesHigh · 07-13-2005, 07:43 PM

I prefer delta blues. Wasn't Muddy Waters delta blues?

Schyma · 07-13-2005, 07:44 PM

Delta blues for sure. Every Sunday mourning at 7 AM one of the lower level radio stations will go on a 7 hour Blues marathon. It's pretty ****in sweet.

Illmatic · 07-13-2005, 07:44 PM

I think Muddy, over the span of his career, went from delta to Chicago.

My grandfather is teaching me how to play the blues on the piano. It's pretty fun.

cobert · 07-13-2005, 09:57 PM

Can somebody please explain the difference between delta and Chicago blues to me? Thanks in advance.

Im not really entirely into blues, but im open to anything new to try out playing on bass and the blues has some cool basslines to it.

Woodstock · 07-13-2005, 09:57 PM

Anyone have any Paul Butterfield Blues Band?

Daniel! · 07-13-2005, 10:33 PM

Muddy Waters owns. And so do a bunch of those old bluesman. Haven't thier been some other blues threads recently though?

magicbus · 07-13-2005, 10:35 PM

I don't know about other blues threads, maybe there has been a few.

Woodstock, I don't have any Paul Butterfield Blues Band, but he was pretty cool on the Last Waltz, and he's really good at harmonica.

Stonefree · 07-13-2005, 11:07 PM

I post in every **** blues thread there is but the always sink away.

Of course I like the blues.

I'm listening to Booker T and the MGS right now there kinda bluesy I guess.

Lowell Fulson is a cool Chicago blues guy but I think I also prefer Delta. Um, also John Lee Hooker is my favourite Bluesman.

PinkFreud · 07-14-2005, 01:43 AM

i prefer chicago.

and i too saw buddy guy. just tonight actually. he can still tear it up like no ones business. he also walked very close to me whilst soloing, as he went through the audience. so freaking cool. i got a t shirt and an autographed poster.

EightMilesHigh · 07-14-2005, 02:54 AM

Jimi Hendrix, in my opinion, was one of the first guys to really play the blues LOUD.
