RIP John Mayall
The sad passing of another influential figure on the music scene, he didn't get as much fame as some but more than made up for it garnering the praise of those who where. Saw him once in Portland in the late 80's, damn fine stuff!

Yes.
He was playing stuff derived from American blues men in 50s/60s England clubs.
didn’t attract too much personal fame. Apparently more concerned with playing in clubs, developing stuff from true blues, didn’t work with promoters trying to make “hits”. Had bands for decades.
but need to mention all the young musicians that developed in his band(s), Bluesbreakers mostly.
Most noteably:
Eric Clapton.
Peter Green (founder of Fleetwood Mac).
John McVie, Mic Fleetwood.
Jack Bruce,
Mick Taylor,
coco montoya
And , I will add: Walter Trout.

Dang, that's sad to hear. I got turned onto him when I heard his music on blues show on the local college radio station. I still have a few of his CDs on the shelf. I saw him one at a festival type of thing at the local Great Adventure (Six Flags).sigpic

Sorry for the loss, but I'll admit I have no idea who he was.
However, I don't know anything about blues.
But I'll trust his importance to you all.Last edited by Baatfam; 07-25-2024, 08:00 AM.Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

So, if you were playing the blues in the key of 'A' for example ...
A is the Root chord
A,B,C,D is the 4th chord
A,B,C,D,E is the 5th chord
therefore, to play the blues in the key (Root) of A ... you really only need to know the A chord, followed by the D chord, along with the E chord (and then back to the Root (in this case the A chord)
get those chords down ... and you are off and running a la BB King.
It's that simple.
(now gussying up that simple format ... and you'll start introducing what is commonly interpreted as 'talent')
If we were to switch it up and decided to play da blues in the key of G (the Root) you'd need to know the chords ...
G the Root chord
G,A,B,C is the 4th chord
G,A,B,C,D is the 5th chord (and then back to the Root (G)
and now you're well on the way a la Stevie Ray Vaughn.
easy peasy Japaneasy
(now be sure to hook me up with backstage tickets ok!?!!)

I took some piano lessen in grad school, played the flute in junior high, and sung in the high school choir. That's it. You're talking Chinese to me.Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

frankly ... being a lifelong professional blues player is probably really fracking boring tbh
(even the Stones are up there just going through the motions with multiple backing tracks playing vs them actually producing all the sound. Gotta be bored outta their friggin' skulls by now re the same tunes decades after decades. Just a money grab setting up future generations, yawn
but the early John Mayall stuff was quite influential ...
