The musical characteristics of blues mainly lie in the flattened **** and flattened seventh notes of the major scale, and sometimes the flattened fifth tone. These flat notes have minor tonal characteristics, and they are often sung with a portamento. The vibrato sounds plaintive, sorrowful, and full of emotions, so some people translate blues as "songs of resentment." Of course, blues songs also have some happy and joyful works. The speed of blues is slow, and the beat is often four or two beats. The melody is in 44 beats and contains syncopated rhythms. The singing style of blues is very free and closely integrated with the language and emotions in life.

Give up all harsh words
