Blues Note A kind of acciaccatura or grace note that happens in jazz or blues on the b3, b5 or b7 and slides to the chord tone. Looks like a miniature eighth note with a line through the flag. It is placed before another note. Played quickly either with the main note landing on the beat or with the blue note landing on the beat. Should be made to fit into the existing rhythm.
