    The Aztec Gold “1956” Strat appears to be a ‘65. It’s got a rosewood fretboard, which happened in ‘59, anf the mid-‘60s transition logo on the headstock.

    What a lot of younger players don't realize is they are young. When the teacher tells you that you are holding the guitar wrong it's because if you play that way for 20 years your back and joints will be f@$%%* up even though it feels comfortable today.

    I wonder if the percussive quality that is so prominent in hill country blues got there because drums were forbidden in slavery times. It may have been a way to celebrate their roots within their bondage. Thank you for keeping blues alive.

  • @Kabayoth
    @Kabayoth Před rokem +1

    A female blues guitarist isn't niche or novelty, and I must stress this is my perception of things, but it's a trifle rare. So when a talented woman appears on the scene, there's an element of "See? Where are the rest of your sisters out there?" It must be said the stereotype for women is they gravitate to singing, of which Samantha Fish is quite talented as well.
    But music is an ever harsher business. And that more than sexist prerogatives could be the larger reason women don't pick up guitar. The investment in time and gear to become financially successful in such a cutthroat industry could make a sensible young woman with conventional private ambitions away from the stage to turn their hands to a more stable paycheck. Under such circumstances, Samantha Fish is not only talented but also resolute.
