"I go by feel, I go by feel.
The only way I know what's real."
Buddy Guy
Mostly, as a self-taught guitar player (maybe not... considering all the influences and internet/book resources I've come across lately!) and rather than trying to be anything remotely near a good player of any great technique, I'm not bound by genre or clichés.
Blues is a human expression of emotion. That may explain why I felt called to blues music, even though, I grew up in Europe, a continent apart from the music’s heartlands in America’s Deep South.
I’m a fan of raw guitar players who aren’t really polished… you’re not sure if it’s all going to fall apart. Those who, rather than trotting out a collection of preconceived practised licks and lines, take some chances along the way, creating ideas on the spot. IMHO they sound more exciting and impressive for it. I play whatever comes into my head. It's an adventure, because when I do a breakdown or a solo, it's new each time and I just let it go...
