He’s right. I saw a Zack Wylde video on here where he says that playing the blues is all about setting technique and speed aside and making your guitar speak – playing something with a vocal quality I think he says.

sebave I agree with malmsteens technical stregnths but you have to consider that his music emotes little or no emotion, he uses a super thin scalloped neck and 8 gauge strings. I would be surprised if BB king could follow him with his super fat U shaped neck and 13 gauge strings. What they do are entirely different and call upon different areas of musical knowledge and it is impossible to compare the two. That being said I play everything From arpeggios from hell to Tres Canciones Populares Mex.

“If you never master the blues, you will never be a real master in guitar playing. ”
I dunno, I think Andres Segovia did pretty well

Blues doesn’t have to be just one scale with a few dominant variations: blues is what you make it. To say that blues is just a few things like that is extremely narrow minded.

For ten years you wasted your time then if you think blues is one scale.

Yngwie Malmsteen is 20 times better than B.B. King technically, but complexity is about ideas, not technique. Good blues players use more than one scale and a few dominant variations.
sebavef says:

It a gretsch

Ive been a guitarist for ten years, I’ve studied the techniques of several blues guitarists. To say that blues is more complex than rock or metal is highly ignorant. Do you really think that bb king or hubert sumlin could follow kirk hammet or yngwie malmsteen around the fretboard? Rock incorporates blues, metal incorporates both. Blues is a simple form of music with one scale and a few dominant variations.

I wouldn’t say that blues is more complicated than rock or metal, because technically, metal is way more advanced.
the thing with blues is that its relatively easy to pick up and play, but really hard to feel.

What a stupid thing to say. It sounds like the fillers between scenes in friends because they happen to use blues clips for fillers in between scenes. If they used metal then metal would “sound like the little fillers between scenes in friends”. And blues is way more than a stepping stone, it’s a music that’s widely played and much more complicated than rock or metal. Don’t be insulting other kinds of music because you can’t appreciate them.

not only will it teach you about bends, but also about phrasing which I find even more important
