Blues
|
Blues has been around for a long time and has many variations. These include everything from a single accoustic guitar (see Robert Johnson) to a fully electric band (see Stevie Ray Vaughan). At the heart of all blues is the rift; while often simple in its base form, blues musicians are apt to craft amazing (and often adhoc) sounds. |
