The Mellotron Group

Quite right Mike,
It is the foundation of most rock music and while it can be repetitive the art is in how it's played and the individual
personality projected by the player.  Yes, blues jams can be boring at times but I think there's more there that meets
the eye (or ear).  ....and I'm not just saying that because I am currently playing in a R&B band..... :) (or am I ?)
Listen to David Gilmour or Jimi Hendrix.....I certainly hear the blue's influence there.......

You guys are right in that Blues is certainly limiting; we've all heard the same turnarounds a million times.  I just like what some guitar players can do with a Strat and a Fender Twin and no effects.

Blues is limiting?

Is that why it has been around for about eighty years?
