Which is better? Depends what your listening for: They’re both excellent in many different ways. In the previous thread Bluesmeister was saying to JimmmyS that he liked the Blue Line better than Talk Your Daughter. I've been studing him for 30 years and he's still always a surprise. You never know what his next CD is going to sound like. Whether he's playing a rock shuffle like Talk to Your Daughter, a contemporary chromatic harmonized composition like Mose Allison's "Aint Got Nothin' But the Blues", or a hot smoking piece like "The Brother" Robben Ford'll take you places in the Blues that you never thought of. Many think Blues is simply a 3 chord idiom with a 5 note scale (I certainly sure did at one time) - and it's that also.but there's still more for everybody on the block.all sorts of levels as your ears will allow for.Īnd Robben Ford continually reminds us of how elastic Blues really is time and time again on every CD. Blues is so malleable it's incredible.īUT not everybody hears that. Blues lends itself to Rock, Jazz, Bluegrass, Dixieland, Acoustic, Slide, Fingerstyle. Blues has many varied forms - 8, 12, 16, 24, 13, 18, 20 bars(!)- Ford even does a 17 bar country swing - see below). Blues can swing or be straight 8ths, It demands that we truly learn to hear micro-tonally (1/4 and 1/8 tones)- also outside the Western Classical Tradiion. Also, the dominat 7th chords move differently than in the Western Classical Tradition (not to mention that it's the ending chord and not a chord that demands resolution). It also defies the traditional definition of a key. I think because Blues so malleable and it's inherently chromatic. Howcome? (Maximum-Feasible-Raw-Intensity is assumed here). "Blues is the greatest musical invention of the 20th century" Somewhere on this site I quoted Scofield as saying that Robben Ford, like John Scofield is one of the most protean and revolutionary blues players I've ever heard. As the dicussion splintered, Bluesmeister then suggested starting a thread in the Artist Appreciation Section on 'Sir' Robben Ford: so here we are. When I started making comparisons between the craftsmanship of the 300 and my Robben Ford Ultra, JohnS asked me if I'd seen Robben Ford. The thread has been carried over from one that started on the AR-300. Robben Ford - Traditional to Contemporary BluesĬredit Bluesmeister: Once again I'm starting a thread that Bluesmeister has suggested and deserves to be the grandaddy of.
