You should perhaps then look into Page with the Yardbirds where any tangible influence from "the blues" (man) would perhaps be more obvious.Originally Posted by Pat Vegas
The reason is he took all his influences from blues and others. And then many of the guitarists who came later took inspiration from Page.
It covers a lot of stuff I need to fill. There is too much information available for today's guitarist in fact too much. I am going back to basics. All I had when I started when I was 16 was a ****ty acoustic and a pitch pipe and book of chords.
More or less every musician from the 60s could claim influence from the blues, Chuck Berry, JLL but then that was the music that immediately went before them. Not so easy then to identify any influence as their career progressed.
Lemmy from Motorhead, biggest influence on his career (other than drugs)? The Beatles.
Go figure.
