I don't know much about the blues other than there are many varieties. Mississippi John is probably my favorite of the many styles. It connects with my ear quite well and affects they way I play when just sitting around. I remember sitting in the Expensive Guitar room at The Guitar Center in Syracuse, NY just noodling while my wife shopped next door. The store manager stuck his head in and after awhile said "We don't hear much Piedmont around here." I hadn't a clue what he was talking about. It is a genre I need to look into further.
