What is the blues? Well most of us consider the blues to be sadness, melon collie, or depression. But there is a scale in musical notation which happens to fit right there with being sad. It's my favorite type of music, and I find it very soothing to listen to and very therapeutic to play.
The blues scale is fairly easy to master, and perform. But the thing with blues is you are limited to only a certain amount of notes, and you have to make the best of it. Not easy at all, and only soul can be put into it, not musical knowledge to make true blues. The shit that makes your spine tingle and puts goosebumps down your arms and legs.
What makes blues so soothing? Well partially it has to do with the fact that you're not alone in your suffering. Thats a common quick cure for any sickness, knowing your not the only one.
To understand this, you have to look at the best Blues guitarists and singers ever. Muddy Waters and BB King are my favorites, and one of my favorite songs is Sweet Sixteen, great fucking song! Download it now or you suck, and you obviously have no musical taste what so ever.
To understand the blues, you gotta have had the blues. Now you might like something a little more flavorful like Marvin Gaye, the blues is there too. "
The blues is unlike any other type of music because it's delivered straight from the heart, as opposed to typical musical method, and thats why I love it.
