I’m having trouble getting the blues out of my guitar so to speak. I want to be able to play like Stevie Ray Vaughn or Jack White. I know the blues scale but for some reason it never sounds right please help! Some theory would be nice and please dont put blues comes from the soul.. Thank you
good blues is simple but sounds really complex. if you watch stevie ray vaughn videos he isn’t playing the whole time. he will hit a chord and sit on it for a few measures and then do a few licks. he was one of the best blues guitarists to ever live and it took him his whole life to get that sound. just practice different techniques and see what you like. a good guitarists isn’t necessarily the fastest or the one that has been playing the longest, a good guitarist is a guitarist that has a full arsenal of tricks up his sleeve. try things like the whammy bar, wah wah pedals, hammer-ons and pull-offs, bends, intervals, slides, and palm mutes. those techniques will get you started on blues. the greatest thing you can do for your playing is practicing your pentatonic scales. find what key a song is in and solo to it, you will eventually get better.
