“As a guy who’s been playing guitar and bass”
==
If you’re stuck playing rhythm guitar or bass in standard blues, it usually isn’t too exciting.
And from what I've posted here what makes you think that I was ever stuck doing that? In my well versed opinion even most blues lead guitarists are highly over rated. Same stuff over and over and over and over and over and over again. That's what I'm saying. Even Stevie Ray Vaughn had very little range outside of his standard tool kit of blues riffs.
