i meant after he did his version of crossroads i influenced the way people played (and titled) the song.

how the fuck could eric clapton influence this when he wasn't even a-fucking-live.....and even if he was alive he would be a baby

eric clapton had an influence on this song...when he puts it in his tape player the song is titled "crossroad blues" even though the real name is cross road bluesthere's an extra verse after the "sinking down" line

johnson sounds like he's playing a very clean electric guitar

kick ass movie

he's brushing away the etchings from the recording.

"Can't we all just get along"? lol (Seriously though,I say that we play beautiful music from the heart and soul,the best way that we possibly can,before long (if you do that),then you will get so good (no matter what instrument(s) you prefer),that people will want to hear you,then more people,and someday,we could be remembered for our music,yes,even as much (it not more) than Robert Johnson himself...Think about it...OwlMan

Why does it matter "how hard" it is to play, or what kinda music has more soul. Each to his/her own... FFS If u like a piece of music and someone else doesn't.... WHO CARES. Cut the fucking bullshit and enjoy your favourite kind of music and stop whining about your stupid, and most of all pointless opinions...

its simply great music, unlike most of the shit on the radio today

"comparing classical and blues is apples and oranges really"I agree and that's why I think blues could be difficult as classical and viceversa.

id argue it would be just as hard to get the right feel for classical as it is to get the right feel for blues. theres no real way to guage it. but in sheer technical terms, classical takes a lot more dicipline and is more technically demanding than blues. blues by nature is simple. but anything is as hard or simple as you make it really. ie robert johnson and SRV. one is simple, and one is full of flare. comparing classical and blues is apples and oranges really.

Obviously classical musicians and blues musicians belongs to completely different worlds...the different kind of approach to the instrument, to the music and whatever else comes from this, makes me shure that the blues could be difficult as classical and viceversa. To each his own;)

obviously there isn't a "difficult-o-meter" in music but I completely disagree. In classical music you shurely have to spend lot of time in learning techniques, reading scores, study a lot etc...but the point is that you have to spend a lot of time too playing the blues...to play THE blues (you know what I mean ;)). There's very few people capable of playing it (i'm not talking about the last bluesmen alive or things like that).

also id like to point out that i ment just playing roberts music...because playing it and singing it is pretty effing hard. he plays and sings in almost two different times.
