Ahemm.. This is a bit embarrassing. Could someone please tell me more about Kim Wilson. What bands has/is he playing in? Does he pucker or tounge-block? etc.?
Denmark is somewhat remote, and there's not that big a market for newer blues-stuff, except for the real famous guys like Robert Cray.
I'm asking about Kim Wilson, because he plays on the recording "Nick of Time" by Bonnie Raitt (1989), .. and gee I wish I could play like that. Is there anyone on the list, who may provide some information on this record in particular (keys, riffs etc.).
Yours
Bo.
BTW: On pitch control: I bought a medium-priced DENON CD player with adjustable pitch control (+-15%). The salesman swore that no one could use a thing like that, but I guess he was wrong :-)
