POST #031 Rory Block on Playing the Blues

“But if you go back to the days before there was a lot of written music and widespread distribution of recordings, people weren’t confined by limitations such as thinking. “I have to go to the next chord now because I just finished four beats” The original blues artists didn’t have the same preconceptions about timing, chords, tunings, or pitch…because of that, House was not always going to the next chord when our preconceived notions tell us it should change. It’s complicated, and also highly sophisticated. Today, we think, “Oh, he left out a beat.” No, he did that on purpose. So I had to completely change my context to get that right. “ – Rory Block
