The Oz Noy Twisted Blues Band has defined their own approach to the blues.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Of all the great guitarists that have defined blues guitar over the years, one of lesser known players I seem to gravitate towards is Oz Noy.\u00a0 I consider Oz Noy’s music to more “blues fusion” than traditional blues as he incorporates quite a bit of jazz fusion elements into his playing.\u00a0 He and his band, the Twisted Blues Band, have definitely defied traditional blues and found a niche following among genuine guitar music fans for their sense of improvisation and somewhat fusion approach to blues tunes.\u00a0 I collected a few videos that highlight Oz Noy with his band and some of the gear he uses.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy this lesser known side of my listening preferences!<\/p>\n

The Oz Noy Twisted Blues Band recorded a killer version of the Meters’ classic hit song, “Cissy Strut.”\u00a0 Check it out here at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sCkx5O7zUU0<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oz Noy uses a lot of gear to achieve his distinct sound (sound familiar?) and he sat down with D’Addario to talk about it.\u00a0 Check out this video at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ng5CmgIwBq0&feature=related<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the band produced a song called, “Whole Tone Blues,” which is built using whole notes.\u00a0 Thus the interesting sound of the melody.\u00a0 The band plays it live in this last video at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dZ03dUQt0XU&feature=related<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed this augmented look at the blues.\u00a0 I have to admit, there’s a big part of me that enjoys listening to and playing this kind of stuff immensely.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more from Blues Guitar Unleashed.<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
