Blues is probably the most boring music ever created.

As a pro level rock musician and someone who’s played in a few blues bands I have room to talk.

What then, would you find to be the most exciting music ever created?

Be assured it’s big-haired rock with multiple flurries of micro notes on the guitar.

Simple scales, done fast.

Blues is way too much rudimentary 1-4-5s and repetitive in every way. I'm very eclectic in my listening as I do like all types of music including freeform and fusion jazz. I do like some blues and have played a lot in my career. I just find it the most boring of any type of music to play. As a musician I have found that players who are not talented enough to play technical rock and jazz songs gravitate to blues which is much easier to play comparatively. 1-4-5s are basically songs like ‘Johnny be good’ and ‘Tush’ for example and are very formulaic and rudimentary. They're not very interesting or hard to play, in fact I could play them in my sleep. Blues is full to the brim with easy peasy stuff like that.

Super boring to play. As a guy who's been playing guitar and bass almost my entire life I feel I have a standing to comment on a thread like this.
