Just shut up dude. Your annoying.

Man that's helpful. What's your definition of blues? because what you've said so far could relate to any form of music. At least what i've said shows the difference between blues music and traditions and every other form of music on the planet.

Basically you don't have a viable definition of what blues is. Is that not really the case? If you take away the history that i speak of and say that's not relevant nowadays then there is virtually nothing that distinguishes blues music from other forms of music. It's emotional? so is country, jazz, rock, metal,punk ........!

Think about it.

Maybe he was just expressing his opinion as per the title of this thread, "what's your definition of the blues?" ie. his.

But defining something usually means decribing it and how it stands out and is uniquely different to, other forms of music in this case. No one did that. They said all the usual things about "good men feeling bad." But as i said that applies to millions of different forms of music.

How does that define the blues?

No, you just don't understand how Americans think, act, much less us from Texas.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S. You can read about that in books, but you can never fully feel what that means. I mean, nothing against you, but your not American where the blues came from and you will never fully understand it even if you moved here and spent the next 50 years here.

I respect your opinions, but your ignorant to what you speak. You know nothing of the blues, any American music, and especially Texas! Were a tad different than others.

Have a nice day.

I never said i would fully understand it. I said i knew about the blues and the history of the music etc. I never said i fully understand it.

But tell me what i don't understand. Then i can think about it and see if what you're saying has any value. Describe to me what it is about someone being outwith the US that means they don't understand it. After all you've said it's just about music. What's to understand?

Ask us about what you don't understand rather than trying to ram what you think you know down our throats.

There's a reason God made two ears and only one mouth.

So you're going to argue with everyone until you've forced their opinions to measure up to yours? How is that going so far?

"What the $@!& did you just #$@*&!% say about me, you little $@!&*? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the $@!& out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my #$@*&!% words. You think you can get away with saying that $@!& to me over the Internet? Think again, $@!&#*. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re #$@*&!% dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable $@! off the face of the continent, you little $@!&. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your #$@*&!% tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will $@!& fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re #$@*&!% dead, kiddo."

See how ridiculous this thread is. You're both wrong for fighting, and for 3 or so days?

There isn't anything i don't understand. You're the one making the accusation that 'cos i'm from the UK i don't, and can't, understand blues, whatever that means. You must have a reason/reasons for saying that, so enlighten me as to the blues traditions that i don't understand because i'm from the UK.

Pentatonic scales with the addition of chromaticisms, particularly the minor pentatonic b5. Quarter step bend on the minor pentatonic b3 back to the 1 is also a pretty big deal.

Edit: Sorry, am I interrupting something?

Dang Buxom.

Aight guys. What do you see here?

It should have been one definition per customer.
Even the OP has had the sense to stay (mostly) out of this brawl.
I'm a big Blues fan, but this thread is pathetic.

Just saying what this thread has become.
