@matthewgregory7304 That's hard to say...when I compare myself with other amateurs I can find a few things that I do better. I'm good when it comes to rhythm, I can keep the beat and add accents when not much is happening in the trebles. My chordchanges are fluent, I almost always use a triplet just before the change. I use a lot dynamics, playing softer, then louder, a little faster, a little slower. I heard Keith Richards once say : I'm always just before or after the beat. I do most of my bends with two fingers of my left hand, more control. I'm blessed with good nails, means good clear soundproduction. I'm able to tilt my right hand thumb to get a flesh sound or a combination of flesh and nail. For bass runs I often use the reststroke : more volume. I'm very good in different kinds of muting (see free video's on the country blues bass on my website - chapter country blues technique). I mute often with my picking fingers or the bottom of my palm (the part under my pinky). I play a lot with a swing feel, accenting the second and fourth beat. "Listening is half the battle", listen constantly to the music you want to play, and record yourself and listen with a critical ear. A lot of these things pop up in my lesson video's.
@daddystovepipe Awesome! Thanks for the advice and reply! Your tone just sounds a lot bluesier than what I'm able to get in general. I wasn't sure if it's the strings you use, your tuning, your brand of guitar, etc.
@@daddystovepipeGreat playing! Great song! I don't know if you've heard Butch Thompson and Pat Donohue's version - I think you would enjoy it. Anyway, you say you're good at rhythm. What do you attribute that to? Do you practice with a metronome?
@Sabaka1954 Thanks, you should always open the videodescription of my video's 😉 there's a link to Pat's version. I never practiced with a metronome, I think rhythm is something you have or don't have, although practice can help.

Your sound is much bluesier than I'm able to get my acoustic. Can you tell us how to get that sound that you're getting from your guitar?
