Your series is so interesting. I lately got into blues guitar, and it's great getting so much background information. Makes me love blues even more now. What a history! Thanks man. Really great quality series.

Thanks David! If you are into blues guitar you can also check out the "Microtonal Blues scales" series.

Awesome man. I've been playing for years. There's a movie you have to see if you're a blues inspired guitar player. It's called Crossroads. It stars Ralph Machio, the karate kid, set against the backdrop of Robert Johnson blues lore and deals with the devil. But it's the climax of the movie that you gotta see. With a guitar player you might have heard of called Steve Vai. It's a little cheesy but it's required viewing for blues guitarists. There's some REALLY good music in it too. Enjoy.

Pentatonic is universal. It's found all over the world.

Check out my other series about the microtonal blues scales. In my opinion it's not that simple. kzbin.info/aero/PLnafBBFyC1Qg2kGpp2YeiiKjmMPiYz2s5&feature=shared

So, the way I heard it, it was a bit different. Blues in the 20's was more about the piano and horns. The vocalists tended to be female. But in the 30's, everyone was broke. And everyone hopped on a freight train. People hoboed across the nation. And you can't bring your piano on a freight train. Guitars were cheaper too. So guitars and harmonicas took over as bluesmen went from juke to juke. That's also when we start to hear lyrics like "Going down to Memphis." Before then, people were born and died in the same place without ever traveling more than 100 miles or so.

🇪🇺🇬🇷 Who named this type of music and why blues Like blue color Color of sea 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🔵🔵🔵🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

I think it comes from being sad and down. Having a “blue heart” was supposed to evoke the idea of being bruised, therefore in pain.
