Subject: RE: Mudcat: is this a blues forum?
Thanks for the links guys - great stuff! Once remember seeing a BB King interview when BB said Peter Green was 'the only guitarist which makes me sweat' but i think the location angle may be something of a cultural cul-de-sac or we are going to see folks criticising Django Reinhardt for playing jazz, for example?

Max has a great bass string technique, you can walk on the line he lays down! :)

No, no-one can out-Green, Greenie although Carlos Santana did a lovely version of Black Magic Woman (in which he altered the lyrics) and Jeremy Spencer [original Fleetwood Mac] was and is a great slide player, through him i listened to Elmore James and through EJ to the great Robert Johnson of course. Just wish we could get back earlier than Charlie Patton, we have lost sight of some tremendous blues guitarists predating recording and folklore collection from the Delta, unfortunately: but oops, i haven't read the Finn yet! :-o

[lol]
