"psychedelic Blues" ....

Hmmmmm.

I'm thinking purples, greens and yellows, rather than "blues" then.

Think along the lines of your old lady has left you but you realised you had a drawer full of LSD so in the end it worked out ok!

>if the elderly lady in question was a customs officer, and my drawers were full of LSD ...perhaps Van Halen's brown sound might be a good place to start for this challenge

kin

it was hilarious as I typed it last night with a few drinks inside me, reading it this morning not so much,oh well ">

Really going to try to get something done for this one, i've been so lazy since the drone comp!

What i like about this one is that I have no hope in hell of beating you guys at this, so can just let rip with whatever the heck I like. Good call!

stickyfiddle

Woohoo! As someone who has just bought a Whammy and a Univibe and too many delay pedals, I say Woohoo!!

With the bad weather I thought I'd make a start on this task .. I'm stumped. I can play the blues [badly] but to me 'tripped out bluesy psychedelic weirdness' in a 1960's thing. Is there anything more modern I could listen to for inspiration?

Chuffola

I'm thinking that this could be anything really. At least, I'm hoping so.

Tripped out weirdness or just tripped out. Blues in a  1-4-5 style or a "blues sensibility". 

I've started on something and I'm just going to see where it takes me.

This is a friend of mine called Sal Cataldi who owns a PR company in New York and is a one man band .. this is his idea of trippy blues .. he recorded this a while ago.

TTony

I've been listening to Sid Floyd, Peter Green and the "Nuggets" compilations ...
