Blues is the name given to a music genre created by African-American slaves, ex-slaves and the descendants of slaves in the Deep South of the United States at the end of the 19th century . The Blues refers to melancholy, sadness, in their way of living. No single person invented the blues. The blues started in the Mississippi Delta in the time when slavery was still around. It referred to their way of living. The blues form is found in jazz, rhythm and blues and rock and roll and is characterized by the use of specific chord progressions. The twelve-bar blues chord progressions( which we study in this course) is the most common one.
