Mike Bloomfield quote

I found this Bloomfield comment while reading Guitar Player
mag...it's from summer 1971..."To bend strings microtonally means
playing across the fingerboard instead of up and down. There are 14
possible notes within 7 frets. If you have a good enough ear, like Ravi
Shankar or Jimi Hendrix, there are 21 steps within those 7 frets. Your
guitar will sound more vocal if you play this way." I think that's
mighty hip for way back then...check out his playing on "East-West" by
the Butterfield Band...one of the great rock guitar solos....Hstick
