Agreed Gary.
 
Mike, this is an example of of what I mean by being able to stretch out a bit. This is plain old Blues in E, but the phrasing and chord substitutions are pretty good.

HI Mike,

I meant limiting only in the context of playing just the I, IV, and V chords in 12 bars.  Given those rules I think lots of room for expression, Skip James records for example.

This is bad topic for the Tron list.

You guys are right in that Blues is certainly limiting; we’ve all heard the same turnarounds a million times.  I just like what some guitar players can do wi th a Strat and a Fender Twin and no effects. 


Blues is limiting?

Is that why it has been around for about eighty years?
