Just be open and honest about who you are and what you believe in the songs you write.
@GuitarSith thanks Rob 💛🙌🎸that touched my heart. I’m also thinking about doing some listening studies with Sly Stone, Jimi Hendrix, Rosetta Tharpe, and Lead Belly. Just the first ideas, it’ll pan out over the next year or two hopefully

That’s awesome Amber. Check out Robert Johnson, Elizabeth Cotten, Bo Diddley, Memphis Minnie, Muddy Waters and Albert Collins as well. Chuck Berry, Prince and even Jimmy Page were hugely influenced by them. They’re also a great source for open tunings. 😊

Eric 🇨🇦@GuitarSith @ambergrey Great list of names! The blues tune I’m working on now is heavily influenced by Albert Collins. Saw him a couple times at Harpo’s nightclub in Victoria. Incredible performances. He had a 100ft guitar cable and played throughout the entire club, even into the guys’ washroom. His horn section, the Uptown Horns are amazing too. Been watching tons of vids of him lately. In Austin TX, he played a lot with Reese Wynans, legendary keyboardist for SRV and dozens of other great musicians. Here’s his tune Frosty! https://youtu.be/rX9pEsdMkzE?si=Om93PJyr-rIImUz5

There are so many amazing bands and players, the list would be pretty much endless. Another interesting line of examination would be going back through the acts that influenced the “English Invasion” bands after the war. A lot of those artists were avid collectors of pretty much any records coming out of the States. They basically just bundled up southern music and then sold it back to the unsuspecting northerners. 😂
