Hi folks! Who would you recommend to listen to, as an advanced beginner (or beginning intermediate) for the purpose of expanding my lick vocabulary? I know who the main influences are, but are there any players you know of that I could potentially be able to grab licks from more easily at my actual level? Let's face it, Little Walter is great, but too far over my head to be useful!! Any suggestion welcome, might be a name, an album a track, thanks in advance
