How to Tell Blues Music From Rock Music

I love Blues. Many bands say they play the Blues, but what you end up hearing is Rock. Here's how to tell if your listening to a real Blues band or a Rock band.

Here's How:

  • If the guitar player has one small amplifier, Blues Band. If he has a stack of them, Rock Band.
  • If the keyboard player only plays piano or organ, Blues Band. If he's used other sounds, Rock Band.
  • If the guitar player breaks a string and changes it on the spot, Blues Band. If a roadie comes out with a replacement guitar, Rock Band.
  • If the bass player's instrument has only four strings, Blues Band. More than four, Rock Band.
  • If there are wives and children around the stage, Blues Band. Scantly clad women, Rock Band.
  • If they play the same songs differently every night, Blues Band. Play the same songs the same way every night, Rock band.
  • If they make up the lyrics as they go, Blues Band. Recite the lyrics verbatim, Rock band.
  • If they arrive in a van, Blues Band. If they arrive in a school bus, Rock band.
  • If everyone is drinking liquor, Blues Band. Drinking beer, Rock Band.
  • If people dance together, Blues band. Mill about separately, Rock Band.
  • If people clap their hands to the backbeat, Blues Band. Pump their fists in the air, Rock Band.
  • If the male musicians are wearing Dockers, Blues Band. If they are wearing Spandex, Rock Band.

Tips:

  • Real Blues bands swing! No swing and all funk ain't the Blues.
  • You don't need electricity to play Blues.
  • You don't need Spandex pants to play the Blues either. .........Next Page
