      I've been playing without a pick since '85, I kept dropping them and having to change the guitar sound with the knobs, so I just grow the nails on my thumb and first finger and strum with them. It gives me a wedge shape to play with when they're held together.

    I like Blues but could never get interested d in learning it because it all sounds like the same old rut... And you'd have to be a virtuoso blues player to make it sound more interesting (that's definitely not me). But your video has inspired me to give Blues another try and maybe it won't some and so boring and predictable. It's amazing what a bit of creativity can to yo transform a boring, predictable same old 12 bars chord progression and make it howl, scream, whatever... But it's still the same old chords pattern.... It's the basis of all more n music, though some might disagree...
