Why doesnt blues have more innovation these days?
I am getting shitty reviews for my song, "I love my whiskey", yet it seems that others, that play standard riffs invented by others and slap lyrics over them are getting good reviews. People do not understand the blues anymore. It has become a field of imitators and charlatans. I am not even trying to make it sound like I am arrogant about my own playing abilities. I am not as good as many, many guitar players or songwriters. I am just tired of blues riffs and songs being critiqued poorly. This "riff" is nothing special. Its a typical line. Its two guitar parts, lead guitar, and rythm. Typical progression, typical method. The real blues guitar players do it by themselves.
