They began to amplify their instruments electrically and to add drums and even horns. The single bluesman was transformed into the blues band, and a new era had begun. North to Chicago The king of the Chicago blues was Muddy Waters. Born in Rolling Fork in 1915, Waters (McKinley Morganfield) set a new style for the blues.

Deriving influences from Mississippi Delta artists through to the present day, the Black Cat Blues Band offers an eclectic repertoire that reflects the band's traditional lineup - guitar, harmonica, bass, and drums. This band was born out of a shared passion for the blues - in fact they have all been influenced by the great blues artists, but had never considered putting together a band to play just blues. In late 2001, this oversight was rectified and the Black Cat Blues Band was born!

(4.6) Blues Scale Blues is a very important area of modern music. It is usually considered the forerunner of both jazz and rock, and it breaks many of the conventions of classical music theory. Blues music has a solid but plaintive sound which results from the use of a minor-based scale over the top of major-based chords (usually dominant sevenths). When we look at relating chords and scales a little later, you will see how unusual this is. In particular, the Blues scale is a very common choice for melodies and improvisations in blues music. The Blues scale has only six notes - unlike all the other scales we have seen so far with seven. It is also unusual in that some of its notes are considered blue notes, meaning that they are not played exactly at the pitch you would expect.

Next This site is too large to effectively navigate without frames. Here is a section with some brief information about many diatonic harp techniques. Diatonic Harmonica Techniques This table lists a large variety of techniques that can be used for playing the diatonic harmonica. These are in some order of difficulty, however even simple techniques can require much practice and expertise to master. The harmonica is sometimes called the easiest instrument to play, but the most difficult to master While that is certainly arguable, don't think that becoming an expert on the harmonica is easy or will happen over night, despite what some book titles might lead you to believe... This table should give you an idea about "where you are" in your ability, and what techniques you still need to master. I've included sample Real Audio clips to demonstrate most of these techniques, where it makes sense. Some areas, such as embouchure, should not effect the resulting sound to an appreciable degree. The samples are most all played on a key of A harp.

92. TBH, A Brief History Often the lyrics of a blues song do not seem to fit the music, but a good blues Some feel that the blues is a way to approach music, a philosophy, http://www.thebluehighway.com/history.html

A Brief History of the Blues by Robert M. Baker Joseph Machlis says that the blues is a native American musical and verse form, with no direct European and African antecedents of which we know. (p. 578) In other words, it is a blending of both traditions. Something special and entirely different from either of its parent traditions. (Although Alan Lomax cites some examples of very similar songs having been found in Northwest Africa, particularly among the Wolof and Watusi. p. 233) The word 'blue' has been associated with the idea of melancholia or depression since the Elizabethan era. The American writer, Washington Irving is credited with coining the term 'the blues,' as it is now defined, in 1807. (Tanner 40) The earlier (almost entirely Negro) history of the blues musical tradition is traced through oral tradition as far back as the 1860s. (Kennedy 79) When African and European music first began to merge to create what eventually became the blues, the slaves sang songs filled with words telling of their extreme suffering and privation. (Tanner 36) One of the many responses to their oppressive environment resulted in the field holler. The field holler gave rise to the spiritual, and the blues, "notable among all human works of art for their profound despair . . . They gave voice to the mood of alienation and anomie that prevailed in the construction camps of the South," for it was in the Mississippi Delta that blacks were often forcibly conscripted to work on the levee and land-clearing crews, where they were often abused and then tossed aside or worked to death. (Lomax 233)

96. The Blues . Blues Classroom | PBS As profound as the blues has been to the national music experience, The blues educational outreach campaign, created by Experience music Project, http://www.pbs.org/theblues/classroom.html

THE BLUES ™ NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH CAMPAIGN The blues is one of America's greatest musical treasures. A roots music form that evolved out of African-American work songs, field hollers, spirituals, and country string ballads more than a century ago, the blues is the foundation of virtually every major American music form born in the 20th century, including jazz, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and hip hop. As profound as the blues has been to the national music experience, it has only occasionally entered the American classroom, mostly through individual teachers who were committed blues fans and who created their own methods to integrate the music into curricula. The Blues educational outreach campaign, created by Experience Music Project , provides teaching strategies and resources for teachers to assist in the integration of blues music, culture, and history into American classrooms, with emphasis on grades 9-12. Explore The Blues Classroom for more information on the blues as a musical form and for assistance in using The Blues educational materials in your school.

97. The Blues . Blues Classroom . What Is The Blues? | PBS It was, Handy later said, the weirdest music I had ever heard. That strange music was the blues, although few people knew it by that name. http://www.pbs.org/theblues/classroom/essaysblues.html

On a lonely night in 1903, W.C. Handy , the African American leader of a dance orchestra, got stuck waiting for a train in the hamlet of Tutwiler, Mississippi. With hours to kill and nowhere else to go, Handy fell asleep on a hard wooden bench at the empty depot. When he awoke, a ragged black man was sitting next to him, singing about "goin' where the Southern cross the Dog" and sliding a knife against the strings of a guitar. The musician repeated the line three times and answered with his instrument. It was, Handy later said, "the weirdest music I had ever heard." That strange music was the blues, although few people knew it by that name. At the turn of the century, the blues was still slowly emerging from Texas, Louisiana, the Piedmont region, and the Mississippi Delta; its roots were in various forms of African American slave songs such as field hollers, work songs, spirituals, and country string ballads. Rural music that captured the suffering, anguish-and hopes-of 300 years of slavery and tenant farming, the blues was typically played by roaming solo musicians on acoustic guitar, piano, or harmonica at weekend parties, picnics, and juke joints. Their audience was primarily made up of agricultural laborers, who danced to the propulsive rhythms, moans, and slide guitar. Mamie Smith , the first black female to record a blues vocal. This unexpected success alerted record labels to the potential profit of "race records," and singers such as
