    Yes....a more talented bunch of lyricists, there's never been

    I actually was expecting to hear from some Albert Lee owners.....kind of figured that the AL was a guitar that lent itself well to the blues (I'm pretty sure I've seen the AL described on this board as what a strat wishes it was), so I thought there'd be some AL owners cranking out the SRV........no??

Maybe even some country blues pickin as well. Think Danny Gatton (don't think of me playing Danny Gatton though - that will give you the blues)

    It can get tele spanky or strat smooth and chimey and with the MM90s can growl a bit too. SRV can be done - just put on heavy strings, play hard and floor it. Floor it, I believe he considered that a technical term.

    I have an AL, but I'm not much of a blues player. Not really sure what to call it.

    I jammed with a really talented keyboard player last week. She played classical and jazz improv. She referred to my playing as "hypnotic".

    Which could've just been a polite way of saying BORING.

    Got it in one K
    Actually your playing is quite depressing so it could be considered a ForM of the blues.

    I don't play guitar like Keith for one reason:
    I CAN'T
