Did everyone play a 12 bar blues today?

Sure did, I was in the studio recording some blues.

 

I always play a jazz blues - with the A -, D7, G-, C7 - turnaround - as it always amazes me that the most basic structure can remain so challenging - to play well! But I only played along to some Tribal Tech earlier, so no, I didn't do that today - ooops...

 

Not here - that'll be April Fool's Day in Britain!!

 

Several times, keys of Bb, C, Ab, G, etc...rock beats, latin samba, lots of shuffles and even a swing tune (Honey Bee, originally by Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers)!

That's what happens at rehearsals of Under Arrest (my R&B / Blues band.)

Happy 1-4-5, everyone...

 

i recorded some I-IV-V stuff on the bass last night.

 

Yup, did some 12 bar blues yesterday with the band before getting down to some serious rehearsing.

 

HAHAHAHAHHA, this thread cracks me up.

Unfortunatly my cover band is gone... but now that you mention it... I did tool around in the blues form.

Happy Belated birthday I-IV-V....

 

Did 2 tunes last nite at the gig on upright:
Blues in the Closet - G (Oscar Pettiford)
Green St- Bb ( Grant Green)

with solos too.

 

LoL... clever; yes, i play 12 bar blues everyday

 

Oh no I played 12 bar blues the day before yestarday and a little today. The one day it counts

 

I dance the blues forever.

 

I played 1-4-05 all day, but in the jazzy, modal way, so really it was

1 (sus4), 5+9, 7dim11 with a uniquely strange hendrix/satriani chordal mode playing in 12/8 over the drummer playing in 5/4.

Sounded a bit like Yes......

 

Oh yes, then I played Brown Eyed Girl

 

This thread, months later, still cracks me up.

 

Didn't play a 12 bar, but instead played
Good Lovin, Louie Louie, Twist and Shout, La Bamba, Summertime Blues, Amazing Grace, Great Balls of Fire, Get Off of My Cloud, Baby's in Black, All Shook Up, Hearbreak Hotel, and Stir It Up

 

Sure are a lot of I-IV-V tunes out there. Think I'll play the Clash's rendition of the old blues tune Brand New Cadillac.

 

I hacked away at the guitar today, and I played some blues based licks. I probably walked/hacked/played through a 1-4-5 in an unintentional way.

 

Jeez Jive, the only one you missed was Hang On Sloopy!
