Ha! Ha!  Not that I know what "12-bar blues" are ...

But I must really like them for some reason!  :-)

I keep listening to my post just to hear the beat.  Makes me want to get up & dance to it.

OK, in general, you have 12 bars that comprise a "section" of the music. This is in 4/4 time, which means when you hear the chart (after the giggle and after the drums), you count 1-2-3-4 on the beat. Do that 12 times and you have a "section".

Within that section, you'll have 4 bars of 1-2-3-4 in the key of the piece. Let's say it's G major, or the Roman number I.

After those 4 bars, the chord progression modulates to C major, or the Roman numeral IV. After only 2 bars in C major, the chord progression drops back down to G major for two bars.

That's 8 bars total. But we ain't done with the "section" yet.  :-)

After those 2 bars of G major, the chord progression shifts to D major, or the Roman numeral V. After only 1 bar of D major, the chord progression drops a whole step back down to C major, also for 1 bar.

Now we're up to 10 bars of this 12 bar blues. Two more bars to go.

This is where things get really interesting. The progression can go any number of ways, but let's say in this case it goes back to G major for one bar and then the "turnaround" of D major before repeating the entire 12-bar blues pattern.

There's lots I'm leaving out, but this is the general chord progression of 12-bar blues, especially in the Sixties.  :-)

Thanks darlin' you are a sweetheart!

Although much of the above is wa-a-ay beyond my purview, to say the least ...  :-)

I think the changes back and forth between the "majors" must be what gets to me!  I have no idea!

Love you too, sweetheart!  :-)

Yeah, the blues art form has its "pull" on us, and I definitely agree it's the IV-V progression, but there's lots of juiciness that happens during the turnaround, and before solos.

Here's a recording of Big Joe Turner who illustrates the blues, probably originally recorded in the Forties. But as he died in 1985, he might've recorded this tune later in the 80s. Just count 1-2-3-4 on the beat and you'll find the tune repeats. And then the solos. And then after the solos, Big Joe brings it home with more vocals. Big Joe is famous for his "Alllll.....Right...Eeeee!"

In rock, the V chord (dominant) is never "minor" unless the I (tonic) chord is minor - happens sometimes, rarely. Even in a tonic minor key (let's take C minor), the dominant chord will - most of the time - be spelled G, B natural, D, and F for the 7th. In the C minor scale, the B is flatted, but not when the dominant chord is being used - usually.

Neither is the IV chord (subdominant) a "minor" chord. Those two chords (IV, and V), along with the tonic chord comprise all of rock.

Trying to keep this simple, the whole thing can be turned upside down when you start talking about chord substitutions.  :panic: I ain't goin' there.  :-)

But yeah, the repeats are endless.  :-)

Wow Drafe, never did get back to you re this ... It would indeed have had me "twisting in the sand" !!!

Thanks!  Did dance barefoot in the sand at fun places years ago when we lived in California.  Loved it then, but pretty  sure wouldn't like too many places now!

Thanks again!  ~ ABC
