  • Summary

  • “... we all have something. Don’t be so worried about what the guy next to you has, just do your thing. Do your thing because your personality belongs to only you, and your playing should be your personality. That’s the best advice I could give man, be fearless …” -- Jimmy Vivino

      

    On this episode of Plus One, guitarist Jimmy Vivino joins Kraz to talk about his familial roots in music and how he gravitated towards the guitar, keeping it simple during improvisation, and nurturing musical interest in young artists. You’ll hear Jimmy and Kraz dive deep on blues guitar playing and talk about all components of the style from gear, to soloing techniques, to conceptual philosophies about the instrument. They also discuss the calling from the blues that Jimmy felt as a young guitarist, Jimmy’s deep appreciation for black music, and jammin’ with Muddy Waters.
