Blues Music

Blues is a combination of syncopated rhythm and blues scale. Traditional music uses western scale where as blues can commonly found with blues scales. It comes with flat 3rd, flat 5th, and flat 7th.

simple answer: because of the instruments and the phrasing of the notes that they play.

Blues music uses a special variant of the scales called unsurprisingly "The Blues scale".

Which is the minor pentatonic scale plus an extra note.

In C major these notes would be;

C - Eb - F - Gb - G - Bb - C

It is the intervals between these notes that produces a sad emotional response by humans.

Blues music originated in the Deep South of America in the African American communities in the late 19th century. It came from work songs, chants, field hollers, and shouts sung by the African-American slaves. The Blues scale (around which much blues music is based) contains a chromatic passing tone between the 4th and the 5th scale tones. This came from African singing, which has a tone between each half tone of Western music.

The blues came from the battlefields when they were using cotton.

does that solve your question.

The blues first started when the slaves master was out. when he was gone they sung and chanted songs even though they were under strict rules by their master that they was not allowed to speak. They were thretened hat if they spoke they would have their tongues cut off. One day the master came back early and heared them singing. At first he was shocked that the slaves broke his very strict rules, but then realized he enjoyed listening to their music so he took them across the sea in boats (the slaves were still chained up) and got them to preform for the people of America.

Blues music is characterized by its expressive emotional depth, often reflecting themes of sorrow, heartache, and resilience. It typically employs a 12-bar structure, with a distinct call-and-response pattern, and features specific chord progressions, usually based on the I, IV, and V chords. The use of blue notes—notes sung or played at a slightly lower pitch—adds to its unique sound, while instruments like the guitar, harmonica, and piano are commonly used. Lyrically, blues often tells personal stories or experiences, resonating with listeners on a deep emotional level.

Marvin Sease is ALIVE! I just saw him on 3/12/10. However, he is very sick and requested the prayers of the audience members.

Please know that regardless of his illness, he put on a SHOW, I was impressed.

Early Blues musicians used a combination of harmonica and guitar.

If you need to ask the question, then you just don't get it. I know some people play blues music because they have seen bad things and hard times. Others because they like the spiritual and mental state it brings them to. Others simply because they like the sound. Me, I play the blues for all of the above reasons. Technically at it's best blues music is simple music played with great passion. Passion, maybe that's why I play the blues.

2nd answer: people blues music because they want to entertain themselves and others. most important they want to criticize the social and political injustice.

Stop cheating on your exam!

PLagiarism is a serious offense.

very crap music

The 'blues' came about as the result of tough living conditions and hard times. Experiences that were then set to music. The actual time frame seems to vary depending on the source. It may have started in the mid to late 1700's give or take 100 years. It was the blues that essentially influenced other styles of music but had it's beginnings deeply rooted in gospel music.

blues is a vocal and instrumental form of music based on the use of the blue notes.

I think he has done too much heroin

Nina Simone became famous for being a singer, songwriter and composer. She started as a pianist, but after being denied entry to The Curtis School in Philadelphia, she shifted her focus to singing.

The C major chord is the chord that you will learn when first learning music.

It's not actually blue but there is a slight tinge. You know, like the Blue Mountains in Australia, they're not actually blue but you know what I mean. Oh, the blueness isn't because of Eucalyptus oil, it's not related to Eucalyptus at all. It's kind of blue because of the unique chlorophyll.

Nina Simone gave birth to one daughter, Lisa Celeste Stroud, in 1962. Today she is a singer and Broadway actress and now goes by the name Simone.

Think of rural blues as the original blues. Topics were open and basic--love, loneliness, anger and sadness. These subjects were sung about in an open setting with few people. Think of urban blues as the blues wrapped in a veneer of civilized jobs, big buildings and large populations. The love, loneliness, anger and sadness of the blues as experienced in a big (mostly) heartless city setting. No cotton fields or moonshine in urban blues. But cheating men and women with broken hearts still survive and flourish in a big city setting with its empty streets and faceless masses.

Sometimes rural and country.

Sometimes instrumental and vocal.

A riff in a song is usually an instrumental part from the guitar, it's when a guitarist (or bassist) plays the chord up and down the scale as the notes meld with one another. You can find samples of these in most rock or metal bands-or if you want something with a isolated example, Apple's Garageband has several tracks that are rock riffs from a rock guitar (that's how I learned what it was).
