As a guitarist, I really like the tone and some of the technique in blues guitar. The general arrangement of the music tends to be good.



A lot of it sucks though, like led zeppelin, who ripped off half of their shit, on top of robert plant doing a tasteless impersonation of a black man from New Orleans. Or just cheesy, lame shit like guns n roses. There's also the lame boomer aesthetic that's tied to it. Any recommendations for blues with none of the above?

If it's not Boomer it's probably not Blues. Jazz is all cringy.

Try some Gov't Mule/Warren Haynes. Dare I say the Black Crowes. Allman Brothers are good too

Allman brothers are based but not really Blues as much as Southern Rock. John Mayall,Ali Farka Toure,Boubacar Traore,Ten Years After,Memphis Minnie,Lightning Slim,and Slim Harpo are pretty choice.

Not to say that Southern Rock isn't Blues inspired partially. It's prettymuch Blues,Country,Hard Rock,and Folk mostly.

Listen to real blues made by people like Howlin Wolf or Robert Johnson and not angloid dadrock imitations of it



I hate trannies more than you ever will bitch

Have you listened to cw stoneking? Howlin wolf may be your type if you're in it for the guitar, not sure if the ink spots count as blues though

>>116182725 (OP)

listen to Captain Beefheart

Based,John Mayall is p good tho. Obviously White and from The UK but coming verymuch out of a folk background.

Lol nope. Haven't posted my own thread in a while.

Marcus King.

Jimmie Cox, B.B. King, and John Lee Hooker are some of my favorites; anything from the 60s onward is too boomery for me.

Emm Led Zeppelin doesn't suck. Also it is not blues either. Gun's and Roses has absolutely nothing to do with blues, they were copying hard rock bands and Rolling stones from 70s.

All boomer guitarists except Robert Fripp and Steve Howe were just blues guitarists playing extremely loud. And you will never find any blues artist those people hadn't listened once.

If you're guitarist, just google old famous blues guitarists, listen to their licks, don't bother with overall aesthetics. Good blues solo is good blues solo even if song sucks. And don't bother with SRV, he didn't invent anything new.

>"erm"

They're alright. I like house of the holy. All of these things are blues related though.

Very nerd emotions response I'm ngl. It's related to Blues just not directly.

Idk how GnR gets so commonly labeled blues either really, like yeah it's a component in their music but they are very far from being a "blues band", there's too much metal (and not the early 70s definition) and even punk in their style but people call them blues rock like they were Cream or some shit, GnR is just too sharp and edgy to be "blues rock", if you want to shit on white hard rock guys for being bluesy Aerosmith is a better example than GnR



Also blues fucking sucks, through a heavy or hard rock filter is the only way that garbage is listenable. Who the fuck sits around listening to old blues other than 70 year old blacks or fedora tippers trying to be unique just like jazz and classical fans
