Sounds Like: Little Walter (I wish) -I have been working for several years to develop my own style, but Little Walter is the foundations of my approach, as taught by Joe Filisko in Chicago on monday nights (and later Clint Hoover in Minneapolis). Lately I've been studying Sonny Terry's style through the Tom Ball book, and Carey Bells playing in 3rd position through another book.
