Does anyone like blues pianists or blues in general?

For 15 years I have been playing classical music on the piano and I wanted to know if anyone enjoys playing blues on the piano? I was never taught how to play blues but it seems very fun to play.

My favorite blues pianists are Otis Spann, Sunnyland Slim and Pinetop Perkins.

I don't play the piano, nor am I a big fan of any specific blues pianists. But I like the blues. So I can contribute in the least possible way to this.

They forbid embedding because of security problems?

Yo, just like images now

Put the video URL between brackets like with images but instead of ing use video and /video. I'd show you but it just hyperlinks and won't show up (I think).

Like so (I fucking hope this works haha)

Also, I dig the Blues, post some of your stuff.

He’s no Jeff Beck and doesn’t play straight ahead blues but I still could listen to him all day long.

And for piano,

I do like Peterson,

Started teaching myself guitar a year ago and I've just recently started to explore with some bluesy shit, so fun to play. I wish I could play piano, trying to learn but I can't read music and that's really limiting me

You gotta start somewhere. And I was always taught to play a very specific way. Keep a straight back, blah, blah, blah. The whole process was bland.


Blues can be a lot of fun to play and you can really get into it.

My dad used to play Stevie's whole discography for days. I had a VHS tape of all his music videos to one of his albums (can't remember which one).

As for Blues, dude you gotta check out Fleetwood Mac's debut album consisted of Blues remakes or originals but man it gets to ya:

As a kid when I was forced to go to church.

I completely forgot about Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac album. To be honest I never really liked Fleetwood Mac but this album is amazing!

Very unfortunate that people come to know Fleetwood Mac by their later attenuated pop albums. Peter Green was the real deal!

My thoughts too, once Green and Spencer left and they experimented for a bit then acquired Nicks they went all pop like.
