Re: Blues on Chromatic

["Gordon Graham" <ggraham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Get Bill Barrett's  Basic Blues Chromatic(for the diatonic player) if you do
not have it. He plays different styles and leaves you space to play it after
him. Also, I hear his cd has a lot of  great chromatic playing on
it.......Check out Little Charlie and the Nightcats (Rick Estrin) and Kim
Wilson for some of the coolest chromatic blues.
