Everytime you bring JJ, I think of JJ Cale (also a worthy listen on your blues journey).

The Last Internationale are doing a French headlining tour in March I think, not sure if they are playing anywhere your neck of the woods, but if they are, definitely worth checking out.

But thanks to your and @TheCluelessLuthier Mark’s musical suggestions, I am still fighting the GAS to buy a resonator. So far I’ve been successful in this battle of “buy another guitar I don’t need” (even though…a resonator is not a guitar, so technically it’s a different instrument) :cold_sweat:

Oh for sure has been and will be. Last thing of his I was looking at was “Same Old Blues Again” that inspired Skynyrd.

LI most likely Paris or way south of me but you never know !

That song is in my regular rotation. I really like Keb Mo, and that’s a fun one to play.

Thanks to Tod’s @CATMAN62 message in my NGD topic I discovered that rockabilly is basically rock’n’roll and went to listen to Brian Setzer. What an amazing player! That’s the skill level my new Gretsch needs and I have some doubts that I’ll be able to reach it, but what I can do is to enjoy the music.

Glad you’re enjoying Brian’s style, Artem!!
If you’ve ever heard The Stray Cats, :cat: then you’ve heard Brian Setzer… he was the guitarist for that band… some pretty cool rock!!!
Another famous Gretsch artist was Duane Eddy… some tasty twang there!!!

“Sexy & Seventeen” was one of the anthems when I had just graduated High School… my buddies loved the line “I ain’t goin’ to school NO More”… we were just out of school & had no intention of going to college or any other school at that point!!!

I started to gradually get back to playing the guitar alongside the bass, and I decided to work on the riff from this song. It’s a pretty good workout for playing octaves cleanly along the fretboard. And the song is groovy, too.
