Robin Trower Bridge Of Sighs

Check out Robin’s lazy, fluid playing on the title track, then his more frenetic funky playing on Day Of The Eagle and Too Rolling Stoned. If you listen closely, Robin is mostly at or just below the feedback threshold, with notes and chords picking up overtones as they sustain. His control of these elements is one of the things that makes him so special as a player. You’ll pick up great rhythm tips, too!

Philip Sayce Influence

Incorporating elements of Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Healey and Eric Clapton, Philip’s blistering take on the blues is showcased particularly well on Out Of My Mind, Fade Into You and Blues Ain’t Nothin’ But A Good Woman On Your Mind . Incorporating heavy distorted tones and effects such as wah and Uni-Vibe, plus exaggerated dynamics, will get you into the general ballpark.

Buddy Guy Live In Montreux

Buddy Guy’s fiery, distorted playing was a huge influence to many, and if you check this album out, you’ll see why. Messin’With The Kid, Every Day I Have The Blues and Hoochie Coochie Man showcase his soloing style from a roar to a whisper. It’s also worth searching out live footage to see the picking techniques (from thumb to full-on alternate/tremolo) he employs.
