Folks, I recently had a chance to ask Washington area bluesman Memphis Gold how a guitar player can improve his playing. Here is what he said:

"Just play together and be in tune, and guitar players, they should learn to let it be an extension of themselves. A lot of guitar players, they play a lot of notes. Slow down. Make what you say, make it like you mean it or whatever. It’s like talking to yourself, talking to your instrument."
