Today I’m catching up with UK Blues Rockers, Blackjack Love.
Quick Questions With Blackjack Love
1. Who inspired you to start playing?
Azza : I’d say Noel Gallagher or Noodles from The Offspring
Sam : Duff Mckagan
Nick : John Lee Hooker
2. Which piece of equipment couldn’t you live without?
Azza : My ES-137, such a beautiful guitar man
Sam : Fast fret
Nick : My old Fender acoustic
3. What’s your favourite album of the year so far?
Azza : Royce Da 5’9” – The Allegory
Sam : Bouncing Souls – Volume 2….looking forward to the new Miley Cyrus one however
Nick : I’m not up to date with new stuff. New Foo Fighters single has really grown on me, hated it at first but now I’m addicted
4. If you could have a lesson from anyone, alive or dead, who would it be?
Azza : Hendrix or Slash, or maybe Curtis Mayfield. He could teach you some cool stuff with that piano key tuning he used.

5. What is your number one tip for any new player?
Azza : Don’t practice til you get it right, practice til you can’t get it wrong

Azza : Funk is cool, don’t listen to him!
