For Joanne Shaw Taylor, there’s nothing quite like playing the blues. Compared to the more disciplined world of classical guitar, which she played in her youth, blues offers much more freedom. She enjoys its raw, funky feel.

“There aren’t really any rules of how you play or what technique you use, just as long as you can input your own personality and feel, and use it as a vehicle, as your voice,” Taylor says. “I like that sense of personality and individuality.”
