Sunday, August 1st, 2010

I want to be able to a proficient acoustic blues guitar play, but i don't know where to start. I'm an intermediate musician having played the saxophone for 10 years and i'm about an advanced beginner at the guitar. I want to take my guitar playing in the blues area to another level but i don't know what to practice, what to learn, or how to go about doing any of that. Any suggestions on books, tutorials, or ways of learning acoustic blues guitar would be extremely helpful, thanks

What Are Good Blues Guitar Pickups?

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

I like to play blues on my Peavey Raptor. Instead of buying a totally new guitar it might sound better if I try better pickups, mine are fairly old and they came already on the guitar.

What are good pickups to use for playing the blues?

Is It Smart/Practical to Play Bottleneck Blues Guitar on a Stratocaster?

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

I notice that the book came with several pictures of a very different looking type of guitar. I am trained classically (I also play the banjo), but never really worked my way into the blues/jazz/rock. Any additional perspective or advice or information would be very much appreciated.
