Does anyone play guitar, possibly blues, jazz, rockabilly, & some hard rock?

I've been playing off & on since I was in my late teens as music is in our family. My father was in a jazz band playing the saxophone & piano, my mother played the piano before she got sick, & I started out playing the piano & was eventually reading music.

But I got into the blues such as Johnny Winter, BB King, Muddy Watters, Eric Clapton (From The Cradle & others), Colin James, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bobby Bland, John Hammond, Brian Setzer & the Stray Cats along with his big band Orchestra, & the list goes on & on.

I also enjoy jazz, hard rock, heavy metal & classical music but I don't play any classical guitar. I also enjoy some spanish guitar.


I've started practising more again so my fingers are getting back in shape.

Just wondering if anyone shares this interest in the types of music I've mentioned & playing guitar.


In case you're wondering I have a black Gibson Epiphone which is Gibson's Fender Strat model which cost me almost $500 & it sounds great.
I use a DT-3 electric guitar tuner by the Korg company.

I've been playing for 19 years. I play a Fender Strat through a Fender Automatic GT and a Zoom II processor. I can get alot of sounds through that little thing, but tried for 5 hours Sunday to get Queens of the stone Age "No one Knows" guitar sound, but couldn't get it quite right.
Playing guitar this day and age is better than its ever been before. There are so many web sites with info and tablature to just about any song you can think of on the net. Also, with processors improving all the time, you can get alot of sounds for a fraction of what it would've costed 10 years ago.
