James Rigby - Bitesize Blues 7th Oct 2026

 James Rigby - Bitesize Blues

Now we might be forgiven for finding some of James’ work a tad similar in style and he is so prolific but there are changes to be wrung, this is his blues piece that caught my ear! So might move toward the end of the day here despite this being a bit more up tempo and bluesy (OBVS!)  . . . .

JAMES RIGBY : THE CONJURER - TUNED - CGCGCE

Going back through the James Rigby compositions for different tunings as I got side tracked by the one DGDDGD here’s another to see you to bed . . . . . . N.B. I play a lot of open tunings from drop D to Open E but some of these that James uses are mesmerising . . . . Fellow guitar fans and players will be interested to note I have a Line 6 guitar in my collection when set up through an amp can play in multiple open tunings at the flick of a switch - it requires a set up so I play my Kalamazoo (Gibson Robert Johnson had one about as old as mine! )and my beloved Harmony [H162] but lately too my oldest guitar my Eko 12 string too (bought in 1972) . . . . . 

‘ Night!
