The Blues?
Blues is a music genre based on the use of the blues chord progressions and the blue notes.
Though several blues forms exist, the 12-bar blues chord progressions are the most frequently
encountered. Blue notes are sung or played at a slightly lower pitch than that of the major
scale for expressive purposes. Blues emerged at the end of the 19th century as an accessible
form of self-expression in African-American communities. The use of
blue notes and the prominence of call-and-response patterns in the music and lyrics are
indicative of the BLues. The blues influenced later American and Western popular music,
as the blues form became a basic pattern of jazz, rhythm and blues, bluegrass and rock and roll.
