Lesson 6, Friday 25th January
Q1. Describe the harmony in this song. (Try and describe the pattern even if you cannot pick the chords - eg. the first chord lasts for two beats then it changes to a chord that last for 8 bars). Is the pattern familiar at all?
At the start of the song, the first chord is played for 16 bars and then the next chord is only played for 4 bars, also, the chords V and IV are normally played for 4 bars and chord I is either played for 8 bars or 16 bars.
The basic of this song comes from the basic 12 bar blues but with a few adjustments like, the song isn't necessarily following the 12 bar blues pattern.
Although this song has the word "Blues" in the title and there is also a use of blues chords, major pentatonic and the major scale, this song wouldn't really be called a blues song because of the time signature that's being used and the guitar riffs that are being played
