Bruce:
If someone tells you that I like music very much, but I don't know Bruce, it's really outrageous.
When I first learned about blues, I heard a buddy playing rock suddenly play a blues song, especially on the top.
I couldn't help but swing along and didn't listen to what it was singing.
In short, the melody made me relaxed and happy.
I asked him, "What is this song?"
"Kiss of Desth"
After that, I started to search.
So I got to know Bruce, BBking and John? Lee? Hook, Bessie? Smith,
it's like a trap. If you fall in, it's eternity.
Then I tried to learn blues music.
The heat of three minutes and its difficulty temporarily beat me back.
Right! For the time being, maybe it will come back at some point!
If I go into a restaurant or pub with Bruce in it, I will be in a good mood and want to be friends with the person who plays music, while appreciating their taste and swaying to the music.
Most young people who like rock or blues have derailed from this world, and I am one of them.
In fact, people who love blues are arrogant, true, pure and lovely. They never beat around the bush, so I love getting along with them.
I don't know if I can convey my love for Bruce to you, but I can't say anything more about rainbow fart. I hope more people will love music, love Bruce and understand Bruce.
Let me give you a brief introduction to Bruce.
the origin of black music.
Blues is also called blues. It is a kind of music style created by black bosses living in the United States in the era of oppressed slaves. Originated in the early 192s, this kind of music was called labor bugle in the early days.
I talked about the Klan in Forrest Gump, which was preceded by the Civil War. At that time, Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation for Blacks. Since then, blacks have regained their freedom.
That's right. Just like China put forward equality between men and women long ago, it will take many years to settle down!
The same is true of black people. They have been enslaved by the labor group and oppressed by the government. The oppressed people have no source of liberation, so they can only cry out and sing the labor bugle by relying on the most primitive human desires.
A lot of people will say that Bruce's lyrics are very open, so I will give you a freeway at every turn!
If you think about those miserable slaves, those oppressed and flogged slaves,
they will definitely not be happy materially, so they can only seek some spiritual outlets to relieve the pressure. All dirty things will make them feel temporary happiness.
Just like when you curse, you will feel real, happy and release yourself.
They also express their hardships with lyrics, which are humorous and obscene. There is truth everywhere.
I like a sentence I heard before: "Live like an erhu with the blues spirit of hip-hop."
To quote Mr. Lu Xun is: "A true warrior dares to face a bleak life."
Everyone knows that blues stands for blue melancholy, but the blues spirit is not. The blues spirit stands for freedom and freedom. I love this spirit.
talk about something theoretical.
In the past, blues musicians were born at the grassroots level, and they borrowed Bruce to complain in order to turn over.
Bruce's rhythms are all from West Africa and East Africa. Africa is the birthplace of blues rhythm.
Indeed, music is really something carved in the bones of black people and a natural artist.
The first blues was actually earlier than the Civil War, which originated from st louis blues》
The earliest blues in the past were completely different from our current blues, and the blues at that time were called classical blues by us now.
Jazz, like Bruce, became popular not with male singers, but with female singers. Like Bessie Smith and Maraney, they are all very powerful grassroots singers.
Until 193s, there were two schools in the pre-war period, one was Delta Blues, and the other was Mississippi Blues.
Mississippi blues is similar to pub music, which appears more in the southern United States, and jazz originated in the southern United States-New Orleans.
Jazz and Bruce used to be inseparable.
Delta Blues is the most similar to modern blues, and it has not changed for nearly 1 years, and it is also the main framework of blues now.
I don't think the reason why it hasn't changed is that no one is innovative or conservative, but that people nowadays can't transcend the past in essence. They can't understand the repression of the past and can't dig out their original desires. How can they innovate?
At that time, no one listened to Delta Blues, just as no one listens to original ecological folk songs now. It didn't rise again with the rise of South American folk songs until 195s and 196s, and folk songs actually originated from Blues.
Amway is a little funny.
have you ever seen the old man who plays erhu in the street to earn money for meals? Just imagine that a black brother singing with a guitar and a harmonica on the street in America. Maybe he is Buddy Guy. When he heard Lincoln's "After the Emancipation of the Black", he excitedly threw off the broken guitar with only two strings that he bought for 5 yuan.
There are many kinds of blues, and the ones you hear most often are country blues, folk blues, rhythm blues, delta blues, jazz blues, electronic blues and so on.
Blues structure
I'm thinking about whether to talk about the structure of Blues or something, but I'm worried that it's too theoretical to accept, so I'll talk about it in general.
It is a basic pentatonic scale. In the 193s, it was based on 12 blues. Besides the 12 blues, there were also 8 and 16 blues, and the rhythm was divided into 4/4 beats and 2/4 beats.
The blues chords of the 12-section blues are generally played in a combination of 12 sections, a group of three different chords.
Then there is harmony. In fact, the original African blues music didn't have chords, so they jumped on the piano with one hand, and then tactfully they tapped blues-style chords by their musical talent.
The usual blues mode is to add 7 degrees to each chord, like the mixed Lidya mode.
come on, that's all, it's complicated!
The ending
In short, it is to let you open the door to another new world and listen to Bruce feel the extreme pleasure of riding a sports car and whistling to pick up girls.
Go and listen to Bruce, even if you are not good at rock and roll. Shake with your body and see your true self.
Jazz hypnosis, metal morning call, drinking coffee, watching the rain after shaking, listening to classical music by the fireplace, playing blues when driving far away, yeah! What a beautiful world!
