Do You Play Blues Guitar?


When I ask friends who are guitarists of rock/alternative bands whether they play the Blues, oftentimes they just offer excuses like, "that's difficult to play" or "don't know how to." Strange since all the while, I thought that given the Blues is the foundation of rock music, then it follows that those who do play rock have full knowledge and appreciation of the Blues.

After several decades of dormancy, the Blues seed planted by our 'fathers' has now germinated. Presenting, the Philippine Blues Society (P.B.S.) -- the best thing that ever happened to Pinoy Blues!!! Alongside is the creation of the official PBS website , which can be accessed HERE . I'll be spending most of my blogging hours maintaining this new site and so I'll be temporarily signing off from Blues Pinoy -- but I'll still be doing updates once in a while.   SUPPORT PINOY BLUES!!!  Visit http://philippinebluessociety.com !!!
