Photo courtesy of Wikipedia.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the heavy players in the blues circuit is and has been Guitar Shorty. Shorty has played for audiences all around the country, written some really good stuff, and become known for his heavy blues style and stage performances. I put together a few performances from Shorty that I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll enjoy. From the videos, he sounds and looks like he puts on a great show as well, playing some traditional blues and updating the progressions a little bit for some musical twists and turns. Check out a few of his performances below and let me know what you think of Guitar Shorty!<\/p>\n<p>This first video features a performance from SXSW 2008 in Austin, TX. You can tell the crowd is as happy to see Shorty as he is to play for them.
