Sit back....
Relax....
And feel it deep within your soul....
Reaching...
Making your heart pound...
Feeling...
The exhilaration of the moment....

I'm stuck. I've been studying all week and I need a break. Today a couple of friend of mine will play the blues in a bar in a town near mine, I'd like to go, but I cannot find anyone who comes..because people that live here are stuck...

A whole genre in itself. Encompases everything from boogie woogie to smoth jazz.
Remember the walking bass scene in the movie "Ray"?

..that was really a perfect day.I went to university, it was 10:30 am, coffey at the bar, and then the highway.... the highway, my old good friend...In the car with me I had my book, my sun burned bass guitar and my Warwick amplifier...

I understand that there are 15 classifications of the Blues. I will list them and give examples so otheres can start listening and relaxing.

Country house, little old chair, fire, glass of red wine.The same A note rhythmed forever.Peace, a bass, a amplifier, and a cold room. Few words, few notes, but all in the right place.Few thoughts, to old friends, gone away. No thoughts...

People ask how do you relax. I listen to the "Blues" .Blues music is the only music that is origianl to American Culture.
It came from the cotton fields.
It was used as a communication device for the underground...

For months, me and my friend Fabio were looking for some people to play some blues with, and sometimes we were just me (bass) him (guitar) and a "impromptu" drummer.Just sitting and play, 20-minutes songs with the same 12 bar blues, lot...

Pays strict attention to reproducing American Blues Genres.
Our heroes- Early recordings of the Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac.

It gets deep into your being. It rocks you...it grooves you...it moves you...it makes you feel...

Aka Mississippi Blues. The earliest guitar dominated music to make it into recording.
Was usually performers who accompained themselves. Small combos later emerged.
Our heroes SUn House, Charles Patton, Robert Johnson

Fully amplified with a small band setting. Band members often took cues from the lead guitar.

I play bass guitar and all I play is the blues.Last year I played with few guys in a band and we had good times, but like it happens in music we split after few months...but this was only an introduction to say that after that I bought...

As far as music goes, there is nothing.... NOTHING like the way it grooves me. I can just feel the music right down to my bones.
It is a high. The growly voice, the guitars singing. Almost as good as.... heh.
Pair them up.... well now...

I love the sounds in blues music .Can sit and listen to the blues any time of the day. Makes me feel happy and relaxed.
