inspired by acoustic blues guitar

i find myself more and more listening to acoustic guitar blues, and less to bb king and the other nightclub bluesmen. I get more inspiration from old fashioned acoustic blues -- more of it seems relevant to what I"m trying to do on guitar. For one, it's solo. those nightclub dudes have backing bands. I'm solo instrumental, so I gotta do it all. And, I just like the sound of old time blues. But, I have no interest in getting an acoustic guitar or playing one. I still like my electrics! And, i'm not into learning the fingerstyle picking... too hard! So I"m a hybrid dude, playing a modified electro-acoustic barre chord blues.
