Playing blues needs to have alot of feel.

Playing blues needs to have alot of feel.

is tt all?1 of mi guys said tt blues is a v. complex genre..some ppl play for yrs n still dont understand wth it is...

 

[Cloudsky]

It isn't complex as in technically complex like classical music. Blues rely heavily on improvisation and feel. Maybe some people don't know how to get that feel?

 

[pratauncle]

shouldn't "feel" be gathered over the years of experience?

 

[strats]

jazz is complex. blues is well... alot like jazz but not so complex. standard blues would be I-IV-V and penta/blues scales.

 

[imsuchajoker]

Do you all start off learning blues? Yeah its based on a lot of feel..
Actually slow blues is really hard to play!

 

[strats]

i started off playing blues. 12 bar blues, moved on to rock then blah blah.
