Are banjos used in the blues music?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Banjo's are most closely associated with Bluegrass music, but they are played in a wide variety of different music. They were often played in Vaudeville shows, and these days I have heard them in bands playing Contra Dance music, country music, not-so-traditional Celtic music, Folk music. I am not a banjo player, so hopefully someone who is can provide more examples.

How are blues music and rock and roll music similar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

AnswerYour question poses a double entendre. Blues is the earliest form of Jazz followed by Dixieland, Swing and Modern or Contemporary Jazz.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually it depends on witch person you speak with. I believe that the Blues came out of jazz. These music styles have influenced each other through today. They both contain one big component, improvisation. Over the course of a song, one musician seems to spin of on a lead track. this may have been the first time this "element" was introduced to American music.

What state did blues music come from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The blues grew out of the African American experience in the early 20th Century, wherever musically inventive people faced oppression and adversity. The blues was developed in many areas of the southern U.S. Each region produced its own dialect of the blues, though the Mississippi Delta and the Piedmont of the Southeast were certainly major centers. Texas had the strongest impact on blues.

What are the musical features of the blues?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I-IV-V chord progressions.

Pentatonic scale with the blue notes added. The blue note is the 4th note of the major scale raised a semi-tone e.g. in A major scale it is D sharp.

There are a lot of embellishments in lead guitar e.g. bends, slides, hammer ons, puller offs, vibrato.

Also 12 bar blues is good. I love to turn around, when playing my twelve bar chi chi cha. Oh yah. That's blues there. I love da blues. But da blues makes me blue.

Also say "I woke up this morning" for that real blues sound.

Why is Blues music important to African Americans?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Blues in it's most basic form (the pentatonic scale and a I-IV-V chord progression) has influenced nearly every music genre in western culture, so it isn't surprising that it has the ability to appeal to the mass audience. But as for "why" it is seeing a resurgence in popularity is, in my opinion, more about the style and emotion of the music than the structure and music theory behind it. The days of auto tune, sampling, and digital musicians have left a void between the music and the audience. The human factor has been almost entirely removed from the songs. Most people wouldn't notice at first but after years of over processed tunes being pumped into your cabeza you begin to see the charm in a more raw and visceral genre. And that is what Blues is about. The singers don't always have or need beautiful voices; the deep soulful rhythm guitars are muddy and the searing lead guitars blister and hiss; and the solos of many blues songs actually can't be properly defined by music theory (seriously, they sound right but they shouldn't!). There is also the obvious fact that it has the Rock & Roll vibe written all over it and everybody loves Rockstar. And don't mistake the blues as a genre that revolves around songs that start "I woke up this morning". The depth of the Blues is quite extensive from slow, melodic ballad to down right face melting virtuosity; something for everyone. Now, while we probably won't see a massive influx of Robert Johnson albums (a damn shame by the way!) the new school of the Blues will have the ears of millions of audiophiles who are yearning for a more primal and soulful kind of music to speak to their souls not just there Club-ing dance shoes.

Asked by Wiki User

1)Blues music has always got a sad rhythm to it and sad words.

2) Blues is very similar to Jazz but with a sad rhythm to it as the comment says above me. Without the 'sad' flow of it, it won't be Blues... :)

First note of a musical scale?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first note of a musical scale depends on the key you're in. For instance, if you're in the key of A, the first note, known as the root, would be A. If you're in the key of F#, the root would be F#. No matter if you're playing the major scale, the minor scale, the blues scale, or any other scale, the root always matches the chord you're playing over.

Why is blue music called the blue?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are several North American bluish-green grasses of the genus Poa pratensis. Yes, it is green, but it has a blue hue to it. Bluegrass music is named after the band that first defined the sound that came to be called bluegrass; this was Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass boys and they were named for Bill's home state of Kentucky, the 'Bluegrass' state.
