Not sure I have it in me for cliff noting stuff when I wasn't really paying attention.

It's okay, we saved @Grant55 from falling off the cliff this time with Days of Our Lives.

We haven't heard from the others so I'll say we lost 'em by now

I love BB King (discussion on previous page).
I've long loved the Marsalis family.

Not too long ago, I had the opportunity to see Jason Marsallis and his Father Ellis play together.
I can only say that it was incredible. Here's a taste.

That's beautiful. What's the other instrument that looks like a percussion but sounds like string? Xylophone? (never seen one that big so not sure if its the same)

His focus is amazing, I don't know how he can still play like that while sweating down his eyes. That must have hurt o.o

Very much agreed - Joe is excellent, because he isn’t modern pop (which is what I was talking about).

I think we have an understanding. You can come spin some vinyl with me anytime.

Good morning, got some coffee at the local 1418 Coffee shop. I think the barista is trying to tell me something.

I want to get coffee there!!

Love this rock Christmas one he did.

Love to visit awhile longer, but dad's gotta work.

Before I go....be excellent to yourself, and all your people.

And the third of the three kings, Freddie King.

This dude can really belt those high notes 0.0!
Plus, he kinda looks like my grandpa and my brother

 

[AngelWithAShotgun]

There's new gods in the making.

Is this still considered part of the blues? sounds a bit different... like mellow rock o.o

It looks to be a vibraphone, it's in the same family of idiophones, as the xylophone, marimba, and glockenspiel.

And yeah his focus is amazing also consider he on average performed over 200 shows a year.

This one I heard before!

<--very excited to recognise one song

I think it's a vibraphone (a little googling on my part, and vague recollection from seeing them). I discovered that the difference between a Vibraphone and a Xylophone is really just materials (or significantly it's materials). Vibraphones are made of metal, and have a warmer mellow tone compared to the more direct and clean sound of a wooden Xylophone (paraphrased/plagiarized from the internet).

There are multiple styles of blues, the commonality tends to be the song structure, and there is usually prominent guitar, but not always. The Chicago blues tend to have lots of horns, big production type stuff. Which is what Joe is more about. The delta blues are much more rustic, acoustic guitars, not many instruments, very raw and full of emotion in the singing. Everything else is probably more between those extremes.

To add to this the vibraphone and marimba also both feature resonating tubes, unlike the xylophone and glockenspiel. The chambers help amplify and carry the notes longer then just the bars alone do.

This was awesome to watch, I was totally not thinking about vibrations... or her face... that looked like she was giving that cello an orgasm o.o

 

[TANSTAAFL58]

That is 12 bar blues. Yes, it is in the rock flavor because of the strong beat...but blues can also be slower...and more...sexy.

I like this jam track

A Strat shouldn't be able to sound that smooth. Incredible. (Sounds more like Randy Bachman's big ol' Gretch hollow body)

 

[TANSTAAFL58]

Early rock and roll evolved from rhythm and blues. Interestingly my dad worked as security for Elvis when he would come into town.
Personally for me when it comes to blues my preference is this man here especially this performance re-stringing his guitar mid act.

And THAT^^^^ is how it is done. Forever the King

Okay, you should have been my music teacher back in the day. I would've paid attention

why is it called delta blues?

I have long been amazed at how much of the tone comes from the subtleties of the player. The pickups, the amp, even the length of the chord, all affect the sound (of course). But I have heard about the guitar monsters like Clapton and Brian May picking up someone elses guitar, but immediately sounding like themselves anyway. So cool!

My teacher had me play mary had a little lamb over and over for a year before she finally gave up and just told me to graduate high school. The meanie.

Thank you!

The blues are considered to have started in the Mississippi delta, a region in the south. And back then, there wasn’t electricity, so acoustic guitars were what they had. Thus, delta blues because of where it was born.

Did it sound like this?

I loved that line! B.B. King was so amazing. Not particularly versatile in his style, probably because he focused on what worked for him and what people wanted to hear him do - like John Wayne doing westerns.
