OK. So new room, new thread. Heres the obvious question. Who your favorite blues guitar player? My vote (an easy one) would be for Stevie Ray Vaughn. I have a few canadian favorites as well (Garrett Mason from Nova Scotia and Ken Hamm from B.C.) but SRV has a talent and personality thats gonna be hard to knock off the top for a long long time (for me at least)

I agree that stevie was good...my favorite album is couldnt stand the weather...I never found stevies music to hard to learn for me because once you learn say 5 or 10 songs you basically have his technique down...because unfortunately alot of stevies work sounds the same...not that that is a bad thing by no means...he has his own style...lightning blues...however ther are too many songs by stevie that sound like pride and joy...Its a curse to be so good at something you cant help but repeat yourself...I think stevie is good however Ive out grown him because I understand his style...which is a let down for me...you know like when you learn that favorite song you really wanted to learn and after a week you stop playing it because the thrill or mystic is gone...Thats how I feel about SRV...
Stevie is at the top of the heap...no doubt...however he is an aquired taste...and 3 songs at a time is all I can take...except the couldnt stand the weather album....which is more rock blues...for sure
However others would disagree

I always liked Jeff Healy's lead guitar...Im not to crazy about his voice however his leads do have emotion for sure.

Do you know what year they were recorded...was it before he became...infamous...I say infamous because not everyone really knows who he is.
