Blues

I play guitar both acoustic and electric, and i'm attempting to expand my abilities as a player. so I'm looking for a song that can "push the limit", an acoustic, blues guitar piece (not necessarily slide) that's thechnically intricate yet beautiful?

Much Thanks

The song sounds a lot like Canned Heat on the road again but it is not that tune. Can anyone tell me who is playing this and what the name of the tune is?

I think its by John Lee Hooker but I can't seem to find it. The guitar wins when it starts to play long notes, and the organ can't reproduce the sound. That dueling piece is in the middle of the song and not the main theme. Any help would be appreciated!

My harmonica is a C Hohner Silver Star. If I bend on the first, it bent (without tilting). But when I tried the same technique on the 2,3 and 4 hole it's exactly the same with the normal draw. Is it my technique or the harmonica is broken? When I try tilting the harmonica and drew hole two it made a screeching sound...

I started playing guitar when I was 7 but I ended up quitting for lack of a teacher a few years later. I am now 18 and I want to start up again but I remember nothing. I want to play guitar right so I want to learn without taking shortcuts persay. By shortcuts I mean just learning tabs. In particular, I want to play blues music. I have me an electric guitar ( Ibanez GAX series). Does anyone have any advice on where to start?

I am prone to a sudden burst of enthusiasm followed by a two week (or so, generally) decline in interest. It maddens me. Can't I just stick with something, for once? I would love to keep practicing my guitar but I'm lazy. And frustrated. How can I kick my own ***? I feel burdened and smothered by that first, initial, familiarizing yourself with the instrument horribleness of sore fingers and thinking too hard. It brings me back to the early days of frustratingly bad clarinet playing. I think the reason I became so good at clarinet was not because I liked it, but because I was so damn frustrated- I would just keep practicing the same thing over and over until it was right. My parents made me practice as a child. How do you keep yourself practicing? Did you enjoy the beginning part where it hurt to hold down the strings and you couldn't get your pinky to hold down one string (forget about several strings) hard enough to get a sound out? HELP!

I want some advice from people..And please be nice because I will only accept real answers cause I'm really asking for help.
Well, I play guitar..Mostly blues and jazz,the real stuff..nothing fake,not pretend blues or jazz..but the raw stuff.The thing is,that (and I'm not making exuses) I am so tired from my job,and when I come home all I do is sleep,and sleep like until I wake up the next day,even I forget to eat...stuff like that.
I started at 13 and I'm 20 now..and I stopped playing guitar a lot,months ago..I'm worried,because thats all I wanted to be and do with my life,is to do that,have a band..and play music,cause I love the arts. But I get so depressed sometimes,cause I just want to do that,and I'm worried like..if its too late,or if I missed too much time practicing,and cant ever get it back. And I dont know what to do, Im kind of lost really.. Cause when I dont play it,I get sad like nothing else.Im thinking its too late,and it will take too long to get back all that time.
