Shop Nick’s classic-rock rig ? https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Essential_Blues-scale_Riffs_Part_2
In this second installment of metal maestro Nick Bowcott’s Essential Blues-scale Riffs series, Nick turns back the clock a bit, illustrating the evolution of the blues into the classic-rock era that would ultimately birth the higher-octane metal tunes that were covered in the last video. Armed with a PRS CE 24, a Wampler Plexi-Drive Deluxe, a Dunlop Authentic Hendrix ’68 fuzz pedal, and a Blackstar Debut 50R, our resident rock scholar has declared that class is officially in session. Check it out!
