Instructions Get the Blues 1 The blues is a paradoxical art form, because it is a response to an experience of heartbreak or sorrow. Nobody really wants to get the blues in the first place, but if they do, playing blues music will help make the heartbreak or sorrow lighten. So unfortunately, the first thing that must happen if one wants to become a blues man is he must experience something painful. A famous blues man once said, Bad luck and trouble are always present in the Blues, and always the result of others, pressing upon unfortunate and down trodden poor souls, yearning to be free from lifes troubles. 2 If the man is not yet a learned musician, he cannot play the blues. But luckily, most blues music is repetitive and easy. Twelve-bar blues can be played by any blues man. As with any music, it takes hours and hours of practice to become proficient. If you want to be called a blues man, it will require years of work and recognition. The term blues man cannot be self-appointed. 3 Once youve become proficient in whatever instrument(s) youve decided to play, perform your songs. There are tons of blues songs already written that you can play, but a true blues man will tell his own stories. Again, this will probably take years of practice. But if you stick with it, youll eventually write blues songs that will make an audience feel as blue as the day you did when you decided to take up the art.
