Even though genres like jazz<\/a> and rock have been around for donkey\u2019s years, they are still the children of the blues genre. Why did blues originate so early and inspire so many? Because life was rough back in the late 19th century and people didn\u2019t have social media to vent their frustrations on. They didn\u2019t even have Internet. Or computers. They just had the blues. And whiskey. The silver lining here is that great tunes came out of all the sadness and solitude, and we\u2019re going to have a look at five of the most Innovative Blues Guitarists<\/p>\n

Blind Lemon<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s just take a moment to appreciate the name \u2018Blind Lemon<\/a>\u2019. The \u2018Father of the Texas Blues\u2019 was actually blind and his name was actually Lemon. Although his record sold well, he did not have as much influence on his contemporaries as he should have had. This was because he, unlike the commercial artists of the day, actually played some intricate riffs that were hard to imitate. Blind Lemon would eventually go on to be covered by the likes of Bob Dylan and The Beatles<\/a>. Check out \u2018Black Snake Moan\u2019:<\/p>\n\n
