Nope, rolfy, I'm not shittin' ya.....

I've got nothing against trumpets and saxophones —— I've played both in times past. But what's the point of playing a guitar to sound like them? Most of the electric bluesmen play rhythm guitar, interspersed with long-held bent notes that just doesn't do a thing for me. Not when there are players like Taj Mahal, Keb Mo, Paul Geremia and quite a few others out there who can really play — the way Robert and Lonnie Johnson and all the Blinds played. To me, that's music. BBK et al are just making noise......

cheers,
