Location: 6 String Ranch | The thing that would be interesting to have would be the knowledge of the experiences that the old blues guys had back when it was all being created, all the good and the bad and how it all worked together to make the music that Eric and the others do covers of today. |

Ain't a damn thing wrong with playing like yourself, every friggin picker that ever got any fame played like himself. Earl never copied the Stanleys and Bill Monroe never copied any body. Play your best and let it lie, "sounds like" is not really a compliment.
I, of course, sound like shit so that doesn't count as breaking new ground, but my audience always liked it because I seemed sincere and knew the songs.

Location: Yucaipa, California | ...ahhhhh...yes....semantics.... I should have said "play as good as" Andres, Earl or J.D. instead of "play like" them. I don't want to be a clone of anyone, I just wish I had the time to spend in order to play as well as they do/did. ;)
I play like "me" as influenced by several other musicians... people seem to enjoy my playing, but I am never really satisfied with my work... but, that's a good thing. Set the bar as high as you can! Go for it! Learn that 4th Chord!(whatever it is!) :rolleyes: |
