I agree with you. The blues, as created by black musicians was understated. Much was left unsaid between the lines and between the notes. Great technique was not needed, but great feeling was expressed. Sometimes us white folks, me definitely included, say too much and almost anally need to fill in the blanks. Bonamassa fills his pieces to the brim. But there are some where he gets subtle, slow, with space. It was very interesting to see, through the videos here how he matured from the precocious little boy who had only a mature technique, to a man who has some soul (white boy wanky soul) to give his great technical mastery some meaning. Definitely good stuff.

I was also suspect of the white boy wanky .. Until I saw his video's as a kid who's friends wanted him to play metal .. Another Dime Bag ? ,, Nahh ,, This kid wanted to bend notes... Yea,, he was born to play blues ,, While on the subject ,, How many white men can you name that have soul .. .
