The Greatness of Blues and Rock and Roll
I love the Blues and Rock and Roll
Nothing moves my soul more than this, and the greats have always been the greatest of all musicians for all time.
It is a wonder, how so much great music has stemmed from the three basic chords and twelve bar blues. So simple in structure, yet so varied in nature.
The basic foundation to the great musicians have then; not been in how "complex" they could make their music because they only relied on three basic chords, but the soulful feel they could communicate through their hearts and souls, with instruments just being basic tools.
John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, the Beatles and Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Led Zepplin all based their music on the same three basic chords and twelve bar blues
The heroes of simplistic and soulful Blues
