How can the blues help you be a better guitar player?

In a previous blog I mentioned we are in another Golden Age of Guitar building. I share this observation in the context of a point I was making that guitar players have benefitted from competition among overseas manufacturers to build guitars for sale in America, contributing to quality and affordability that we haven’t seen before. A lot of guitars are manufactured in the Far East and have been for decades. The trial and error phase is really in the rearview mirror and I’m confident in selling guitars to customers who ask about country of manufacture as a litmus test for quality. However, quite a few guitars are made much closer to home and as the title suggests, here’s what I have to say about that.
