I play for a quartet group and its simple 1,4,5 progressions and i play them in the right key.But when i go to some other programs i hear some guys that are really good play the same songs and it sounds more jazzy and funky.I guess im using the simple chords to play them.They make their chords sound so pretty,and seems like they all over the fret board.i notice some r using the whammy bar and effects....but what i like most r the guys that dont have the effects or the whammy bar and can straight out play and sound jus as good.Can anyone offer some tips on how i can spice up my playing and things i can try.Its like some of these guys dont wanna show or tell u anything like everything is top secret.We play stuff like Canton spirituals,Slim,Keynotes,lee williams,etc.
