Blues should be studied first from the perspective of the legends. Robert Johnson was a legend.

Blues by Definition

Blues music was started in the 1800's by African American communities, who would sing field songs and spiritual songs. Blues music is defined by its blues chord progression, most often twelve-bar blues, and blue notes, which are a half step off of the major scale notes. The term "the blues" in phrase means melancholy and sadness, which often characterized the lyrics and feel of the music.
