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.

	

	John

		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?
