Blues - gatunek muzyczny wywodzący się ze śpiewów Murzynów amerykańskich z południa USA, z pewnymi wpływami muzyki folk. Korzenie tego gatunku sięgają połowy XIX wieku. Blues oparty zwykle na trójakordowym schemacie, prosty w strukturze, wręcz otwarty jest na nieograniczone możliwości interpretacyjne i improwizacyjne. Zbliżony w swej melodyce do potocznego języka angielskiego daje też olbrzymie możliwości w improwizowaniu tekstów śpiewanych przez artystę. Początkowo blues rozwijał się jako samodzielny gatunek, wykształcając szereg regionalnych odmian. Wykonywany był zwykle na gitarze, pianinie, harmonijce lub nawet śpiewany a cappella. W latach czterdziestych schemat bluesowy został zaadaptowany przez niektórych muzyków jazzowych stając się istotnym nurtem w tej muzyce. Z bluesa bierze także swój początek rock and roll. Także i rock często odwołuje się do bluesa.
