Good day fellow pickers

JonStrat

Hi guys, my name is jono, I have a modified squire, it has tone rider city limits pups, a wilkinson bridge and some no name tuners on it. I am a strat man through 'n through and hope to one day have a nice collection of them and other guitars. I am into the blues and blues rock and hope to be good enough to play in band soon.

If any one has any articles or can point me in the right direction with regards things a blues guitarist should know i would really appreciate, I have no muso friends and its tough when you're all alone ☹

Thanks for any and all help!

Regards

Bob-Dubery

I prefer to think of myself as a "plucker". Whenever I play for an audience I always hear things like "it's plucking Bob again".

Welcome Jono!

You could look in the lessons section for blues related lessons? or possibly make a request for one in general forum? or maybe even check out some youtube vids to help you out? ^^

Hey Jono. Nice to have you here. Listen, go to gibson.com and check out the Arlen Roth lessons. The blues he knows is the real deal and he has a lovely way of explaining himself.

For some basics, also check out the blues lessons on www.justinguitar.com
