This lesson will focus on the West Coast Blues Guitarist Roy Gaines. This short solo contains elements of West Coast Jump soloing in the 1950's. The song "Loud Mouth Lucy" is a tune recorded my multiple artists of the time and I will include the version sung by "Eddie Mack" If we compare other pioneering guitarists we see phrasing similarities between Jimmy Nolen, Pete Lewis, and Roy Gaines to mention a few. Roy like most of his guitar peers was originally from Texas and migrated to California. I think like many others T-Bone Walker was his primary influence on the guitar.
