One of my buddies texted me this awesome video that blew up on the internet…
It’s about two guys who walk into a Walmart and become blues stars. It got over 10 million views.
It starts off with them just mozying around the aisles. Then they stumble upon this little red toy guitar. It’s a short scale guitar for kids and what happens next is quite shocking.
One of the guys picks it up (Clay Shelburn), and starts busting out these tasty Stevie Ray Vaughan-style blues licks in E. He’s slaying this mini guitar right there in the toy aisle, sandwiched between Barbie dolls and Legos.
He then comes in singing and does the first verse of “Pride and Joy” with a soulful tone.
The camera guy, filming on his phone, leans into the frame and Clay says, “Catch the next verse?”
The camera guy says, “I'll do it.”
And then he comes in and sings the next verse!
After that, Clay plays a little blues solo and then takes it out with a blues-ending lick.
The barbies go wild.
It's a great example of how it’s really the wizard that matters, not the wand.
You see, when you have solid blues fundamentals together like:
All the essentials I constantly preach about. You can pick up any guitar and slay it. It could be an electric, an acoustic, or even a toy guitar in the middle of Walmart.
