Electricblues is performed in several regional subgenres, such as Chicago blues, Texas blues and Memphis blues.
The initial wave of U.S. electricblues musicians inspired the British blues scene of the 1960s, which included artists such as John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Eric Clapton, The Yardbirds and the first incarnation of Fleetwood Mac, as well as more mainstream rock groups such as Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones.
Blues lyrics contain a number of three-line rhymed stanzas in which each stanza consists of a line of verse which is repeated and then concluded with a final line.
Harmony is based on a repeating blues chord progression, with a 12-bar pattern using the three major chords of a scale.
Throughout the country blues could be heard in small dance halls, barrooms, rent parties, and juke joints, where new styles such as "barrelhouse" and boogie-woogie were performed by pianists such as Clarence "Pine Top" Smith.
