The blues, its all about getting in touch with your emotions, its not just about a few bends and trills here and there, its all about whats going on inside of you. Alot of musicians have trouble hgetting in touch with their true emotions through the blues (without sounding like someone else), but you just have to know how to take a few key elements from the work of others without losing your own sence of creativity..Listen to Jimmy Page, his playing style is unbelievable. The thing with the blues is that alot of people feel that they can't relate to it, But with Page's style, he adds so much flavor to to the blues, and so much enthusiasm for the listeners as well. Jimmy Page's style has remained one of the most unique styles over the past four decades, because he polayed from the heart, discarding what was considered acceptable at the time.
