Burlap and Blues, The Blues Blog

Well, it is now less than 30 days away, and I have now gotten my third advertisement for sales related to Guitar Centers 2009 King of the Blues contest. All you guitar slingers make sure you get signed up to play!

As the King of the Blues 2009 contest first round comes closer, I will be taking more time to refine my playing to improve my chances during the contest. I will have to work hard to do better than I did last time. But while doing that I may unfortunately let the blog slow down a little. Don't worry, as soon as I can get the solo down I will start blogging about how I am getting ready.

Keep on Jammin, Ken

UPDATE: July 5, 2009. Sign up for this years KOTB has been taking place for a few days now. I am hearing reports that some stores are starting to fill up quite rapidly, and others are still looking through the delivery for the sign up sheets. We have been having quite the discussion over at the forum about the quality of the backing tracks, although produced very well, are somewhat limiting to guitar. I plan on using that to the best of my ability and I am going to try and create a vocal quality from my guitar (no, not a talk box folks).

Be sure to check out the forums, at http://www.burlapandblues.com
