Blues Masters Contest

Post by Jim Heep »

Let me start with this. I can play the good ole fun sweet sounding tunes from back in the day. But I kinda wanted to let some of the new players realize the PSG isn't limited to one genre. I entered this contest which is the second reason for the video. Also I did a no-no as far as tilting forward. I know a lot of players don't approve of this but again it's to show what's going on and some showy business stuff too. A gimmick if you will. Anyway please watch, share, and vote a thumbs up. It helps on contest. Hope you enjoy, and feel free to comment. Thank you for supporting each other.

Pass this one around if you will. Thank you. Here's a tid bit of info you can watch it endlessly and each time a view has been done I get a point. So shhhh LOL. Here's the link.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I have an old 1930's epiphone that I use from time to time also. Those little 6 stringers are fun also.

I think even Mr. Bonamassa would watch this and say: Wow!

Great playing. My first love was the blues. I hope to be able to rip out some stuff like that one day. Inspiring for sure.

Thank you Brandon, I'm stoked that you liked the vid.

Please feel free to share, here's the contest link. But some reason it doesn't work on iOS devices. Iphones, Ipads. I hope they get that fixed.

Well Alan, I'm using native instruments guitar rig. It's an endless possibilities of sounds. Plus many more.

Michael, as far as the tilting thing, I'm pretty sure I have seniority on that one. LOL.


Thank you David, glad you enjoyed it.

Dennis, that little deal hit me one day when I was watching a lead player do a hammer on.
