I loves me a slow blues, and there must be lots of great tunes I haven't heard, so what's your fave?
I'll open with Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of "Tin Pan Alley". |

|  | The deepest grooves take time | | Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Houston | | I'm a huge, huge fan of BB King's slower stuff like "Three O'Clock Blues" and "Ten Long Years", etc. Too many choices.
I'll echo "Since I've Been Loving You" and "I'm Gonna Quit You Baby" from Led Zeppelin.
And I know this is totally off topic, but I just stumbled onto this Miles Davis video of "So What?" with Coltrane, Jimmy Cobb, Wynton Kelly, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4FAKRpUCYY

anyway, just how do you define a "slow" blues? Is there a specific bpm that denotes the boundary? a specific number of seconds for 12 bars to be played in? |
