"BLUE" JIMMY: THE MAN WHAT PLAYS THE BLUES
BLIND DOG OZZY: NEUROTIC CHIHUAHUA
"BLUE" JIMMY: So yeah, I bin getting a lot of requests to show how I do some of my amazing Blues Guitar Bends by some people just startin' out and even some veterans of The Blues!
BLIND DOG OZZY: The Blues Is Alright!
"BLUE" JIMMY: It ain't easy folks! It takes practice, discipline, dedication to your art and a shot an' a beer don't hurt (but it don't help, neither!).
BLIND DOG OZZY: !!!
"BLUE" JIMMY: In the first photo, you see my hand in the pre-bend position, relaxed, and probably doing a fill between verses.
BLIND DOG OZZY: Diddly, Dee- Dee- Daa!
"BLUE" JIMMY: In the second photo, lookit my fingers!
BLIND DOG OZZY: OH, F**K!!!
"BLUE" JIMMY: I'm pushin' the B string upwards like a motherf**ker, and the fingertips of my fretting hand are digging up under the other muted strings like I'm mining for gold! This is on a stiff-action, '89 Fender American Standard Stratocaster strung up with 11's in standard tuning.
BLIND DOG OZZY: And he don't downtune like some 90's grunge-rock faggot, neither!
"BLUE" JIMMY: DUDE!!! Who does this s**t besides THE MAN WHAT PLAYS THE BLUES, "BLUE" JIMMY? It's like Me, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, King Kong and God!
BLIND DOG OZZY: An' Hendrix In His Eternal Tomb!
"BLUE" JIMMY: I'm just joking! Any well-schooled, Bluesman worth his salt, will use this technique a hundred times during a typical set! But let me tell you, this guitar technique is why today's rock bands don't sound anything like yesterday's hairy-chested, whiskey-voiced, guitar-slinging bands!
BLIND DOG OZZY: I guarantee you, Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons and Coldplay never sat down in an empty room with a shot an' a beer trying to cop licks from a Freddie King album!!!
"BLUE" JIMMY: That's why you don't see no mores bands like Humble Pie, Foghat, Bad Company, ZZ Top, Aerosmith and The Faces! I remember I had to learn all these bands and then learn all the peoples they learned from like Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and Big Bill Broonzy!
BLIND DOG OZZY: Young people with ADHD don't have the patience to sit down and learn the whole history of The Blues, so they just mess around and learn whatever they can off the latest video game!
"BLUE" JIMMY: So gimme a pigfoot and a beer and I'll show you how to "Bend It Like 'BLUE' JIMMY!"
BLIND DOG OZZY: Push those strings around, young man!
"BLUE" JIMMY: Sake's Alive!
BLIND DOG OZZY: Wow! Wow!
