As far as playing the Blues, I can certainly play that form, but again it isn't about where you are from but rather life's experience which formulates your creative output.

you said he cant play blues, 'perhaps you haven't lived long enough yet', and what makes you say that young people cant have experiences that spark creativity :roll:

and whats up with your first response? he just wanted some advice, not some guy tellin' him he cant be a blues player cause he's not old enough :roll:


Does the definition of the words.....Perhaps....Yet....strike a certain context... :?:
It means maybe... not today but maybe tomorrow.

Had you not taken that phrase so literally you might have seen the double entendre...

As the " You cannot play the blues, it is a statement that when taken to someone much older and I certainly didn't mean me is a bit comical. I was flashing back to having said something similar to an older musician many years back and a similar response was given.

It's unfortunate that some of you cannot differentiate between sarcasm and an actual dis.
Not every word is to be taken at face value.

well this is the internet, it is hard to read texts the way they were intended to be read

Yes it can be, but just recall past posts by the OP so my responses were influenced by those.

More to the point, becoming stale at whatever is your personal pursuit is a common factor.
It strikes everyone regardless of Age, Ethnicity, ( of which I have no specificity.. :lol: ) occupation, wether your'e running gates, writing prose or crafting guitars.

Being well rounded so the doldrums don't last requires getting out and doing something completely out of the box.
All is not as it seems, I was once guilty of not seeing the forest for the tree's, but at 15 to 17, I didn't want to hear it.
Sound familiar.... :?: :lol:

That is not to say that at this point in time I have completely figured it out.
For myself I hope that moment not to arrive up until I take my last breath..... :idea:

If you are insinuating that white folks can't rap, you obviously haven't heard of Eminem or the Beastie Boys...or on a comical level, Chris Parnell or Andy Samburg or Natalie Portman see the SNL digital shorts).

The idea that a person can't play or do something because of their race is ignorant beyond words.

An art form might originate within a race or ethnicity, but that doesnt mean other races or ethnicities cannot master it.

If what you said is true, then Benny Goodman and Louis Prima couldn't play jazz, Eric Clapton and Jimmie Vaughan and Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill and Johnny Winter and Peter Green can't play blues, and Charlie Pride can't sing country...and George Harrison couldn't play ragas on the sitar...and Adele and Van Morrison could't sing soul...nobody could play rock & roll, because it is a bastardized art form stemming from blues and c&w.

If you have to be black to play blues, would a half-white/half-black mixed race person only play half-blues (and would it be called bl..?)

Cut out this bullcrap regarding race. It's almost 2012, for God's sake.

find a girl and get really attached as fast as possible. then let her stomp on your heart for a bit. the blues will come back to you. :lol:

but on a serious note. don't think about it so much. take away the thoughts of progress and the need to learn and improve your playing and just play what you feel. take away your practice routine and writing for a while. just throw on a drum track and noodle :D but record it! you would be surprised how great some of the accidental thoughtless licks sound, but you have to remember them :wink:
