I got inspired by what Hendrix was going for with his idea of variety. So I went onto Instagram and decided to learn this short song that is played on acoustic using fingerstyle technique. It was fun and inspiring to do something new! After posting the video, I got lots of positive feedback and a shoutout from the origional writer! Here is the video!

I recently watched this video of BB King talking about his phrasing over a slow blues. I will definitely be applying what he is playing here in a later video! I think that this video is great because BB actually talks about how what he is playing sounds like talking.

264-320 As I am coming towards the end of my BB King autobiography titled Blues All Around Me,  I have begun to think about the differences in phrasing between Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and BB King. What I have noticed after reading about their approaches as well as listening to their music is that they are all so different. Not only in their lifestyles, but in the way that they produce music. Each musician seems to have a completely different idea on how music should be created and what it should sound like. In my opinion, this has to do with their backgrounds as well as who they are in general. Clapton was raised well through a good school system with a lot of family tension. Clapton did not experience many limitations in what he was trying to do, other than those created by his relationships with people.

This carried on over into his adult life as he had many relationship problems all the way up to his current relationship. As far as trust issues go, Clapton went through a lot of friends and managers due to his lack of trust in them. Jimi's childhood was full of music and encouragement to be different from his father. Thanks to this, Jimi grew up trying to be unique. This uniqueness is a big factor of his success as he did many things that no other musician would even think about doing. Moving onto BB King, King grew up with divorced parents. At the age of 9 he lost his mother...
