There are so many different styles of blues, not all of them in my favor, but to mention a couple artists I think are cool.
Joe Bonamassa, has some great riffs to go with the rhythm. Johnny Winter is also cool. I'm more of the "modern" blues guy myself so for me: Jimi Hendrix (can be difficult to grasp) Blues Brothers, of course! Peter Green Led Zeppelin A couple songs such as Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze Blues Brothers - Sweet home chicago (dunno know who originaly made it) Joe Bonamassa - Walk in my shadow (great rhythm) Peter Green - Jumping at shadows Peter Green - Green Manalishi (the coolest song ever?) Led Zeppelin - Black dog Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick (fetch some coffe during the drum solo  )-------------------- My bands homepage
All time favourites: B. Streisand - Woman in Love, M. Hopkin - Those were the days, L. Richie - Hello |

You can also take a listen to names like B.B. King (quite simplistic rhythm e.g. is Rock me Baby) and Robert Johnson (the original creator of Sweet Home Chicago).
Also, some slow blues like Car Hiss by my Window from the Doors has some nice rhythm playing in it. Actually, the list is pretty huge

Actually, the list is pretty huge I love BB King, but I never heard him play rhythm guitar, at every point in his song there's some fancy lick being played. Or maybe I'm deaf...  Car Hiss blew me away, started learning it pretty much standard chord progression though...QUOTE (Crazyfret @ Apr 28 2009, 11:12 AM) Ivan is the man to ask.

I'll check those guys out as well. QUOTE (Frederik @ Apr 28 2009, 11:26 AM) BB king Clapton JJ cale buddy guy That should be enough for a year:) yeah, sure is...
