Go heavy, you’ve got it mixed up man. Do you have something against black people? This is a simple matter of history. Even country lists blues as one of its precursors. Blues originated with African slaves here in the US, and many elements of blues were taken directly from the music of Africa, including blue notes which you brought up for no apparent reason. But you’ll probably tell me that the Africans were listening to their radio down on the Niger River when they heard Hank Williams and were suddenly inspired to create the blues.
The “classic” in “classic rock” has nothing to do with classical music. You’re just making this shit up as you go along. It’s pretty obvious. [/quote]
Yeah I hate Black people! That’s why I married one.
Time for a lesson. And I hate teaching… and I bet you’re fairly intelligent. First of all country music gets its name from people wo came from European and African “countries” and brought their folk songs with them. Around the 17th Century. Back then it was just referred to as “folk music” which it basicly means the same thing. Jazz and Blues arrived around the turn of the 20th century and started in the southern states around New Orleans, LA. Jazz and Blues were formed in America the same way rock was. It all stems from old folk music that people brought with them from the native countries and passing it down generation after generation their “countries music”.
As for “classic rock”… once again you are dead wrong. Please get your head out of your ass so I don’t have to keep schooling you. Guitarist like Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page were classical guitarist like Estaban but turned rockers… creating the “classic rock” sound of the 70’s.
By the way. I’ve been a musician for 15 years. How many years have you been one? If you actually played an instrument, you might understand how music is formed.
For a timeline… This is all considered “Classical” and this lasts for hundreds of years, actually centuries Mr. Blues Man.
By the way “the Blues” or the pentatonic scale was created very recently on a musical timeline.
Mid 5th century to Mid 15th century (Middle ages)
- Gregorian Chant, named after pope Gregory… I’m sure its in a book somewhere, look it up
Mid 15th Century to 17th Century (The Renaissance)
- secular music
17th Century to Mid 18th Century (The Baroque Period)
- orchestra
- opera
Mid 18th to early 19th Century (The Modern Classical Period)
- symphony
- chamber music
Hope this helps your retention… you’ve seemed to misplaced yours and are in a losing battle with a musician.
