Seriously dude?
What about Chuck Berry?
--- Quote from: ledhendrix on 09 Jan 2008, 08:57 ---Blues scales are pretty much the pentatonic scales anyway. I would recommend learning the CAGE cord system, it's really handy for playing chords up and down the neck and switching between cords without having to move around the neck to much.

These are both right, though I actually stumbled upon CAGED mostly by accident; I was playing the shapes along the neck way before I knew there was actually a name for what I was doing. You can also create some really great-sounding chords by using CAGED shapes but leaving the strings open rather than barring. For anyone who knows what I'm talking about, try making an F with a C shape and leaving it open to hear what I'm talking about. I love that chord.

Chuck Berry is good, but i like the Hendrix version better, although i suppose it isn't nice and clear like PacoSees wanted. Also a good thing to learn would be fingerpicking, learn a couple of old blues songs or house of the rising sun or even some flamenco (i love playing flamenco), its really nice being able to play without a pick all the time.

Good old-school rock and roll? Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry. Just stop trying anything else.
