Blues |
||||
| Blues is about tradition and it's about personal
expression. At its core, the blues has remained the same since its inception. Most blues
feature simple, usually three chord, progressions and have simple structures that are open
to endless improvisations, both lyrical and musical. The blues grew out of African
spirituals and worksongs. In the late 1800s, southern African-Americans passed the songs
down orally, and they collided with American folk and country from the Appalachians. New
hybrids appeared by each region, but all of the recorded blues from the early 1900s are
distinguished by simple, rural acoustic guitars and pianos. After World War II, the blues began to fragment,
with some musicians holding on to acoustic traditions and others taking it to jazzier
territory. However, most bluesmen followed Muddy Waters' lead and played the blues on
electric instruments. From that point on, the blues continued to develop in new
directions, particularly on electric instruments, or it has been preserved
as an acoustic tradition.
