Playing "The Blues"
The Blues takes its roots in African American culture. The Blues is a type of American music that became popular in the early 1900s. It is closely related to jazz. Instrumental music is important in the Blues. Guitar, Piano, and Harmonica are typical blues instruments. The Blues developed from the folk music of African American people in the American South.
Grab your instrument and play along with this backing track of the Blues. No instrument......no problem....why not try some scat singing!!!!
