I picked up the remastered version of Layla by Derek and the Dominoes this week and love it. I am only 18 so I over the past year I have started to discover music from before my time and I must say I am hooked. I have played my stratocaster every day since I started playing guitar three years ago and have quickly progressed into being capable of playing somewhat complicated pieces with ease.
Recently I formed a band and we want to play blues and old rock and roll like Clapton, Hendrix, and the Stones. Just wondering if anyone can give me some ideas for some awesome music I might be missing out from the late 60's and 70's. I hope to become inspired by some other artists.
It's my goal with my band to bring back the greatest era of music as much as I can. With the crappy bands out today, I wonder where did we go wrong? How did we come from such beautiful love songs with awesome creative guitar parts to whiney crap with power chords we hear today? Makes me sad
