I'll .l have to check out Peter Green I've been hooked on Johnny Winter and Stevie for so long that I need to branch out and check out some new players but I've also been hooked on Duke and Ronnie earl because they have that trail off technique that no one seems to have quite like them and Mike Welch is awesome as well he's gotta a great style and does some excellent BB.
it was fantastic Mike I totally enjoyed it, you are such a great musician,maybe you can join Duke and the gang in teaching lessons on Sonic junction that would be great.
I haven't recorded it; as much as Otis is one of my biggest influences both vocally and on guitar, I've never covered one of his tunes on record. I always thought it would be fun to do some of the Cobra-era Otis tunes with Duke; many of them have Otis and Ike Turner BOTH playing lead guitar, and Duke's take on Ike's crazy playing is pretty great.
Also - one of the things I love about the Eric and Stevie versions is how much of themselves they brought to the table when covering it; Clapton streamlined that intro into a powerful, easily recognizable riff the same way he did with Robert Johnson songs, and Stevie just burst at the seams with raw energy, alternating the rhythm and lead parts so it sounded like he was playing them at the same time. It's a good reminder that once you know these songs - and both Clapton and Vaughan KNEW the Otis version - it's open to interpretation and your individual voice.
