Best Blues instrument?
 

What do you think is the best instrument suited for Blues? I think you really can't beat the guitar, but some might argue the piano is better. What do you think?

Yea I think guitar is the best for blues. Or the harmonica lol.

There's nothing quite like a good harmonica. :D

Definently the harmonica, then the guitar, then maybe brass instruments

:reindeer2 MERRY X-MAS EVERYONE :xmassmile

The banjo. How cool can you get? :D.

Human voice gets the vote from me.
The different ranges,styles and pure emotional played well the voice is the sweetest and truest instrument of them all.


makes yer weep

HARMONICA FOR EVER! But i think it's the guitar lol.....B.B. King baby yeah!

for blues it is the armonica, for jazz it's the sax, but the instrument i like at best is the hammond

Blues I would have to say good acoustic guitar, and a good soulful voice. Nothing more is needed. I do really dig harmonica though, and play it as often as I can.

****in trombone!! I played it for 7 years!

Harmonica, guitar, piano

It doesn't really matter - if you can make an instrument sound bluesy/jazzy, then use it!

everything that plays blues is a GOODIE :D

i guess guitar or harmonica

My vote is for the Piano and I second the Hammond B3

Actually ya all are right!!!

I think its definately the electric guitar. BB King, Muddy Waters, even Hendrix did some blues songs. And the piano is bluesy aswell. I love Norah Jones' music.

A BIG ol' back-breaking heavy Hammond B-3 organ in skilled hands IMO is the sweetest sound in the world !!!!!

I think bass can be quite bluesy if its allowed to shine through, it just depends on the song. The bass intro on Norah Jones 'Sunrise' was quite an upbeat intro.

Harmonica..something I wish I could learn to play.

Harmoniicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Though I got to have me some guitar too.
You should listen to Groove Armada - Hands Of Time
and Tom Rothrock - Rollin' Crumblin'

harmonica is always great
and i've heard once or twice the sax
guitar and someother things as well

Tenor Sax gets my vote for best enhancer
 

Nice rich tones weaving through the tune. Ahhhhh. I think vocal would have to be the best instrument. That's where the emotion is that makes non musicians relate best too.

Harmonica or the blow-bottle.

Those 2 instruments always make me smile.

Harmonica is da best.

I also really like the saxophone..Alto and Tenor...the tenor has a richer sound to it but the alto plays an important role in a lot of jazz pieces...

harmonica - but guitar is the best too -

if you could blow into a guitar, THAT would be the best instrument

a fender stratocaster.

For those real low, down blues you've got to have the harmonica. It's how it all started.

easily the guitar
 

slide guitar on a straight tuning to D or G, cant beat that sound. ive got a few old hollow bodies and theres no better way to make that beaten up and original sound.

Haha. No.

This is a dumb question, everyone knows that its the guitar.

Fixed. :)

<3<3<3<3<3

I have a brass slide. I even use it on my bass sometimes.

The black slaves and guitars ?

undoubtable the harmonica.

What did Robert Johnson play?
Guitar is the root of modern blues

VOICE by far is the blues instrument. Then probably acoustic guitar.

He played guitar.

How about the Dobro?

You idiots. There is no right answer. It varies from song to song.
