It is a fairly easy style to play, but its not that easy. There are a lot of people who play the blues, but not everyone can do it like the greats.
I can't even really explain why I love the blues. I think there is something spiritual about the music, particularly delta blues, that can't be found elsewhere. And when you think about its origins, I think that's a pretty fair statement.
It just sounds so damn good to me. I'm really impressed by the technique of some blues men like Robert Johnson and skip James. Of course when I started playing, it was only natural that I play the blues. Even though when I'm working on my own music I don't Really play the blues, but nonetheless I still play it a lot.
