Discussion Post: 12-Bar Blues and How It Is Used in Multiple Genres
First, watch the YouTube video on the 12-bar blues. This is a great explanation of the 12-bar blues, as well as a good demonstration of rhythm.
Select this link to watch the video 12 Bar Blues Part 1 with Grammy Nominated Music Educator Mike Overly.
Next, choose one idea from the video and discuss how you have come to understand that idea on a higher level.
Mr. Overly touches on rhythm, tempo, keys, seventh chords, and the structure of the 12-bar blues. Also, discuss which songs you know that use that idea or that chord progression. Post a link to the song to support your point.
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
