Do any of you spend enough time around blues dads to know if they have added a third musician to their list of blues guitarists they like, in addition to "You know, Clapton and, like, SRV, man"?

serious question: what's wrong with Clapton and SRV? despite him being an "icon" or whatever i'm not actually very familiar with Clapton, but i think both Layla and his solo in While My Guitar Gently Weeps are really good. and i'm sure i've heard Tears in Heaven a million times, but it hasn't left much impression on me. Does he suck in everything else he's done? or just that he's inspired a million middle aged dudes to spend way too much money to noodle around on a guitar instead of actually learning to play? As for SRV i haven't listened to him since like...'92 so maybe my memory is foggy, but i remember thinking he was a decent player. even if he might not have been famous if he didn't die. also, i'm reposting this because it's funny drat it musician humor! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkf_rEW92h8 "i heard eddie van halen taught jeff beck everything he knows!"

Clapton hasn't done anything good since Layla. I don't think Clapton really understood what made the blues the blues, though. (Duane Allman played the cool parts of that album anyway). I don't think anyone has a problem with SRV. I'm fine with him, he plays cool poo poo. But bluesdads think the blues is just British rock and SRV, which is disgusting bullshit.

SRV isn't bad, just loved by bluesdads and they think he is the pinnacle of blues. Clapton was good but ever since Cream "first successful supergroup" he's been more douchey. He also hasn't really done anything memorable since Layla.

input impedance on a SHO is somewhere around 5Mohm, so while it's generally best practice to have it be true bypass unless there's a good reason for it not to be (one buffer up front, true bypass after works great right through til it hits the amp), it's still probably going to reject very much signal bleed... but yeah, it's trivially easy to stick a 3pdt in there and wire it up for true bypass + your LED so do that.

I think the bass nerd from REM screwed up Nudie suits for a while by wearing them as part of his "hey, I'm not nerdy anymore" look in the late 90s
