Blues is the name given to both a musical form and a music genre created within the African-American communities in the Deep South of the United States at the end of the 19th century from spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. The blues form which is ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues and rock and roll is characterized by the use of specific chord progressions — the twelve-bar blues chord progressions being the most frequently encountered — and certain blue notes that for expressive purposes are sung or played flattened or gradually bent in relation to the pitch of the major scale. The blues genre is based on the blues form but possesses other characteristics such as specific lyrics, bass lines and instruments. Blues can be subdivided in several subgenres ranging from country to urban blues that were more or less popular during different periods of the 20th century. Best known are the Delta, Piedmont, Jump and Chicago blues styles. World War II marked the transition from acoustic to electric blues and the progressive opening of blues music to a wider audience. In the 1960s and 1970s, a hybrid form called blues rock evolved. The term "the blues" refers to the "the blue devils", meaning melancholy and sadness; an early use of the term in this sense is found in George Colman's one-act farce Blue Devils (1798). Though the use of the phrase in African American music may be older, it has been attested to since 1912, when Hart Wand's "Dallas Blues" became the first copyrighted blues composition. In lyrics the phrase is often used to describe a depressed mood. From Wikipedia under the

However, I just started getting into music theory about a year ago. I think that if I could figure out or get some help figuring out the relationships between the notes in the blues (or pentatonic) scale that it would allow me to connect some of the other ideas that I have already learned and thus further my knowledge and help in my playing.

Blues scale now being taught in UK / Rock Schools and co, is pentatonic plus flat 5th but that is a bit of a misnomer because it is the 5th of the Major scale. Try this as already stated below but in Key of e e g a bb B D then octave E ( Bb is the modifier. ) Listen to Chuck Berry for example and he is often changing the minor 3rd to a Major 3rd this now often done by bending the minor note toward the major but Chuck 'Hammers it on/pulls it off". He says he learned it from his piano player. Duke Ellington called it the blue note and there are other blue notes; Try push bending the 6th toward the diminished 7th is also cool sound like Eric Clapton,… [cont.] Answered by unknown - Sat Jun 20 10:19:57 2009 How fast will the Paramore tickets for the October 26th concert at the House of Blues sell out?

Banishing the Blues When you feel the blues coming on, concentrate your mind vigorously upon the very opposite qualities. Hold the ideas of cheerfulness, confidence, gratitude, goodwill towards everybody, and you will be surprised to see how quickly the enemies which were dogging your steps and making your life miserable will disappear.
