Lynyrd Skynyrd – Sweet Home Alabama

Most of you know this classic,killer-song!One of the most famous blues song,”Sweet Home Alabama”,by Lynyrd Skynyrd features a very “sweet” melody,with a bluesy rhythm and a nice and fast guitar solo,accompanied by the piano!

Jimi Hendrix – Purple Haze

Jimi Hendrix,as you most know,was the best guitar player.Unfortunately,he died from drugs.It is a very big loss for the rock “world”.

This song is marked as one of his greatest hits.The sound of the clean electric guitar with the bass create a “heavy” melody and the drums keep the rhythm,all forming a great blues song!

Ten Years After – I’m Going Home

It has great solos by Alvin Lee and great rhythm created by the drums and the bass.The guitar and Alvin Lee’s vocals keep you excited,with all their twists,that you don’t expect(for example,you hear only the bass and the drums for a bit,and then,suddenly you hear a guitar solo,just perfect!).

This is the video from Woodstock ‘69 and the sound quality is not that good.I would suggest finding the sound-only version of the song(the Woodstock version though).

Eric Clapton – Cocaine

If you know Eric Clapton,you know Cocaine!The basic melody formed by just 2 chords(an E5 and a D5) on the guitar (Eric Clapton’s Fender Stratocaster!),with a slightly distorted sound,combined with the rhythm and the little solos in between and the big one at the end,create a perfect blues song!

Enjoy!
