My name is Johnny London and I am a big fan of the blues! So much so I started a site to celebrate and aid in the creation of improvised blues music.
I am a guitarist, player and teacher and have always had an affinity for blues and blues guitarists - something about the raw emotional conduit the wood and steel become in the hands of players like SRV, Clapton, Hendrix and BB King always resonated with me.
From when I first picked up the guitar I always wanted to find a deeper expression through it, and found it through the blues, and when I learn something new I always get the urge to share that knowledge and want other people to get the same buzz from what I've learnt! That's why I love teaching and helping others express themselves - kind of a selfish motive I suppose!
I'm trying to spread the word to blues men and women, players and teachers, about my site www.bluesbackingtracks.com that I started help teach blues improvisation to my students. The idea is to provide a LONG track so players can get into a serious groove and work new stuff out, and just let go in the comfort of their rooms - and to feel the joy of expressing themselves...
Favorite Blues Artists and Bands
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Dave 'Honeyboy' Edwards, Robert Johnson, The Stones, The Doors, Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters - many, many more...
