Learn to play blues guitar.
Home › Forums › Discuss Songs / Music › Snowy White & the White Flames – Midnight Blues
I have to admit when I first came across this band on You Tube, I thought that it was either a joke or a Al Yankovic parody – I mean, really………Snowy White????
After I listened to this song that I’m posting here, the man has a serious touch on the guitar. Considering that Pink Floyd hired him as a backing guitarist and had played with Thin Lizzy, he has to be good.
He isn’t flashy like some and in many ways, one might compare him to David Gilmour.

He has played the same 1957 Gold Top Les Paul since 1969 and the pics on his web site shows that it really has been used to its fullest. From the tone that he gets, it has to have those sweet pickups of that era that everyone is looking for.
It supposed to be auctioned soon

If you have time, go his website. He has a juke box player set so that you can hear his recordings. You wont be disappointed
