I think I started to make alot better acoustic songs after I started playing/listening to this. I can recommend Bjørn Berge, Snooks Eaglin, Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker. Also what sounds really freakin cool, is to play, for instance, a F# Major chord with both E strings and the B string loose. You can play that almost anywhere on the fretboard. --0----------- --0--------- --3-------- --4-------- --4------- --0--------- Actually I'm not even sure its a F#... But anyway, try to experiment with stuff like this. Oh btw, if you really want to get into blues, check out some of Stefan Grossman's instructional DVD's.
