U2U me....I can send you about 100 MP3's from Robert Johnson, Pat Travers, TBone Walker to Joe Bonamassa, Clapton, BB, Albert Collins, Elmores James, Allmans etc, etc, etc, Marcia Ball....Professor Longhair etc....

Relatively new band from Saskatchewan. The Sheepdogs. They are called the "hairiest band in music". They do look and sound 60's for sure. Very bluesy:

My my, I go out for half a day and find all these replies, haha, time to crank the speakers up, thanks everyone!

Ok, I'm going to share two tracks from two bands I can't get enough of lately, and the reason for my sudden interest in guitar driven blues/rock, and my wanting to get an electric guitar.... Soon, hopefully...

my current favorite guitarist. Jack White, of The White Stripes





and one of the best albums I've recently stumbled upon, The Big Come Up by the Black Keys.
The highlight for me, the first track:





Who knows, maybe someday I'll play like this, one can only dream....

Robin Trower is quickly making it to the top of my favorite guitarists list!

^^
Jerry Garcia solo starts around 4:20 (go figure) but theres a nice build up before it. One of the best solos by him ive found imo.

If you listen very carefully to the guitar jam on track 2, when it slows down, you will realize that that sound is, indeed, the entire band wearing chainmail and clapping their hands.

Also, the combination of Trower's guitar and Dewar's (bass) vocals creates a machine that carves the badness from men's souls.

Canadians eh?
Here's one from Triumph. They typically included at least one awesome instrumental on their records. A way to show off Rik Emmett's guitar chops. This is a great example of those chops!

Little Boy Blues

you have to get an electric!!!! there is so much you can do with it and so much more you can play. i found when i just started with my accoustic i would hit plateaus and get out of the mood to play! by getting somthing new it would reinvigor me to learn more and play more. now at a stoppage i will go out and get differnt pedals and effects and im back into it every time! keep making beautiful music and never stop rocking

ok you got me, I'm getting this album.

reply to post by soloharmony


Thats exactly why i want to get one, I'm still a beginner with a cheap acoustic mind you, but after having learned the basic 12 bar blues scale, I found it really fun to play. So now I want to crank it up a notch and make it sound heavier and dirtier, so much more fun to learn!

Before I go out, I'll leave you with this little treasure,
Pink Floyd playing the Blues. No words necessary.
