| | | | Songs in 12/8
Could you guys give me some song names that are in 12/8 time. I need to work on this and I want to get a feel for how it sounds in songs. Anything classic rock or blues would be appreciated.
Thanks |

12/8 is standard blues shuffle meter. A lot of blues songs are in 12/8. |

I remember playing that once, and I stuffed up. Man did I feel stupid.
