Intro

ChicagoBlues

One of the epicenters of Traditional Electric Blues, Chicago Blues used amplification on guitar, electric bass and harmonica. Chicago Blues has a more extended palette of notes than the standard six-note blues scale; often, notes from the major scale and dominant 9th chords are added which gives the music more of a 'jazz feel' while remaining in the confines of the blues genre. Chicago blues is also known for its heavy rolling bass. Chicago Blues developed in the first half of the twentieth century due to the Migration of poor Black workers which moved from the South into the industrial cities of the North such as Chicago.
