Not a lot lengthy sample I know but just enough to see if I can get the feel for blues, who knows with more practice I may even get better.
Oh yah, excellent, Jon. Nice work. You definitely have a future in the blues! The only suggestions I'd have is to lay back and play more 'in the pocket' and to think that the blues is about having emotion in your playing. I mean just be a bit more emphatic and purposeful, I guess is a couple of ways of saying it.

Nice stuff.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
