Most of us who play blues guitar are familiar with the 12 bar blues. Almost every blues guitar player has played songs like Sweet Home Chicago, Pride and Joy, Red House, and one of the thousands of other blues songs that use the 12 bar form. What many blues guitar players dont know, is that there are two other great blues forms to choose from, the 8 bar blues, and the 16 bar blues.

All of the forms use only three chords, and roman numerals are used to describe them. The first chord, called the I chord, is usually a dominant seventh type of chord that is built from the first note in the major scale. If you are in the key of G, then G7 will be your I chord. The fourth note of a G major scale is a C, so the next chord used is called the IV chord and would be C7 in the key of G. The fifth note in the G major scale is D, so the V chord would be D7. So now you have your three primary chords, G7, C7, and D7.

The 12 bar blues is 12 measures long. The term bar is just another word for measure. The first bar is always the I chord. The second bar is either the I chord again, or for a quick change blues, it is the IV chord. Bars 3 and 4 are always the I chord again. Bars 5 and 6 will be the IV chord, and bars 7 and 8 will be the I chord. Bar 9 is the V chord, but bar 10 will either be IV or V. Bar 11 is the I chord, and Bar 12 is the V chord which sets up the listener for the start of the next chorus.

The 8 bar blues, as in the song Key To The Highway, also starts with a I chord. After that, Bar 2 is the V chord. Bars 3 and 4 belong to the IV chord. Bar 5 is back to the I chord. Bar 6 is the V. Bars 7 and 8 repeat that sentiment with the I chord on Bar 7 and the V chord on bar 8. Once again, the final bar has the V chord to setup for the next chorus.

A 16 bar blues, such as the Herbie Hancock tune, Watermelon Man, starts like a 12 bar blues. The first four bars are the I chord. Bars 5 and 6 the IV chord, and bars 7 and 8 return to the I chord. Even bars 9 and 10 share the V and IV chord usage like the 12 bar blues. The difference is in that bars 9 and 10 are repeated 2 more times for Bars 11 14. Finally, bar 15 returns to the I chord which also holds on for bar 16.

As a blues guitar player, remember that its not that important how you play the chords in a blues tune. You can play the same tune with several different comping styles and get several great results for the same tune. Similarly, when you find a good comping pattern that you like, dont be afraid to stick with it for a lot of the tunes that you play. If it works well in one tune, chances are it will work well in others.

Left Handed Stratocaster Electric Guitar Metal Belt Buckle

One guitarist, who has been playing for about thirty years
and has used a myriad number of guitars, loves his Fender
62 reissue Telecaster, which he bought in the UK. Designed
in 1983, this Fender 62 reissue Telecaster is a very
different color of cherry grain and lighter than a Les
Paul, which he likes.

As a guitarist who dabbles in country, rock and roll and
even blues, he appreciates that the Fender 62 reissue
Telecaster is a great instrument for all three. When
playing country music he uses the pickup of the bridge; for
blues the neck pickup. A Roland processor and two twins
operating in stereo is how he started out using his Fender
62 Telecaster, but lately he employs an Ibanez compressor
with a Fender Hot Rod, 40 watt, and straight out of the
amplifier.

The only negative thing this experienced guitarist has to
say about his classic Fender 62 is that the factory vintage
tuners make it difficult to change strings very quickly.

The 62 reissue Telecaster earned a ten (out of 10) for
reliability and durability from this reviewer. He has never
had to call on customer service for any repair or support.

This accomplished musician calls his Fender 62 Telecaster
the best musical investment he has ever made.

Another guitarist, who has owned his 62 reissue Telecaster
for twenty years, said the same thing about reliability. He
has just never had a problem with it and is interested in
finding out just how long it's going to last. While he says
it's the Jeep and not the Ferrari of guitars he truly loves
the sound and action of this instrument. One negative note
from this reviewer - the strings break often.

Customer Review: insight to signature fender telecaster styles/sounds
this video and the accompanying booklet provide great insight for the beginner or experienced player to the equipment spec's., and details of special tunings, chord-voicings and techniques of the most prominent and enduring telecaster driven superstars. i have not been able to find a second, or follow-up volume to this video (an effort well-warranted). nonetheless, if you're looking for a launching point from which to delve further into the playing of superstars like danny gatton, james burton, johnny lang, albert lee, kieth richards, and andy summers- this is money and time well spent.

Everything!

Customer Review: Good stuff
Everything I had hoped for from the Tones and more. Makes you miss the halcyon days in which this lively and innovative music was made. A great job of packaging too - a really solid collection including the pop stuff and the fun oddities.
Customer Review: One of the greatest ever
As much as I love music and all it has to offer, nothing has ever struck and stuck with me like TOT. I owned the POP album on vinyl, and I played it time and time again. Absolutely brilliant! I adore Love and Rockets, and I think Bauhaus are OK (a bit overrated), but this was a true gem. You absolutely must listen to "Rain". Greatest song ever composed in my opinion. I can't stress enough how wonderful this song is. It opens up with ambient organ and guitar (which is e-bowed, a method used throughout their songs), and then it morphs brilliantly into the singing and structure. Lyrically it is stunning, and I tell you the music will just stick with you. Just a beautiful song!

3. Tonight it's Conan ... Tomorrow it's Yankee Stadium

5. What Does Kenny, Bob Jovi and Clapton have in common?

7. When The Transformation began
8. A new CD In Support Of Military Kids
9. Kenny comments on his latest #1
10. Kenny One on One Interview with Jon Waterhouse

1. Hi folks;

Looks like Kenny and TMG/AEG Live will be in business together starting in 09 and right through until 2013. The deal has to do with Kenny's future tours and will pay Kenny based on the amount of tickets that could be sold vs the number of tickets actually sold.

So TMG/AEG will have to ensure there are bums in the seats and Kenny can just focus on what he does best ... entertain! The deal has nothing to do with any recordings or merchandise, concert tours and events.

2. Yes, in order to get Kenny to perform at the recent County Fest, festival promoters coughed up a cool million to Kenny to appear. In 03 they paid Kenny $325,000, so to cover the increase, fans this year had to pay as much as $130 to see Kenny perform. There were mixed reviews on the hefty price.

3. Don't miss tonight's episode of Late Night With Conan O'Brien as Kenny will make a guest appearance.

Tomorrow Kenny will take in the All Star game at Yankee Stadium and his Poets & Pirates Tour crosses over the midway point.

"It's cool to be able to get back to Conan," Kenny says. "And for me, getting to go to the All-Star Game and be up close the way I'm going to get to be, well, those aren't the kinds of things I don't think any of us really dream of doing."

4.
Here are the stats so far in 08 according to Pollstar's Top 10

1. Bon Jovi - $56.3 Million
2. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - $40.8 Million
3. Van Halen ($36.8 million
4. Kenny Chesney ($35.3 million
5. Michael Buble ($32.5 million
6. Kanye West ($31.6 million
7. Jay-Z/Mary J. Blige ($30.7 million
8. Rascal Flatts ($25.4 million
9. & 10 - Spice Girls and The Police at about $23.3 million each.

5. They have all joined Master Cards "Roots Of Rock Sweepsteaks" which will allow one lucky winner for each artist to see where it all began for that artist. For Kenny fans, it will be a trip to Nashville, where they will get a guided tour of all of the famous spots during Kenny's career. The winner and 3 guests will also get an intimate performance from Kenny in Knoxville.

Kenny said; "It was an honor to be considered with this company. At this level, it's hard to bring people into your music on this kind of level. But winning the sweepstakes and experiencing the Nashville I came to, that will put you not just inside the songs, but inside how the dream happened."

The promotion is on now and runs through August. Every time a user uses their Master Card they are entered automatically. If you use PayPal, you're entered twice. Non-card holders can enter online. Priceless.com has a section called Tour The Town where you can get tidbits of little known info on all artists early beginnings.

6. Each show costs $1.4 million to put on (excluding fuel and talent cost)
The vehicles on Kenny's tour get 3-5 miles per gallon
Fuel was budgeted at $2.85 per gallon
Kenny has some section seats, called "Shiftwork Seats", priced between $10-$30

Kenny said, "I grew up in East Tennessee, lower middle class, and that's the demographic of the country now that's struggling the most. That's also my audience, and I don't want anyone who wants to come to the show to be unable to afford it."

7. Kenny used to play a lot of golf, eat a lot of pizza, drink a lot of beer and ate a lot of Waffle House.

But in 1997 he changed gears and began working out with a personal trainer. That trainer, known as Daniel Burns, travels with Kenny on tour to make sure he stays on track.

"If hadn't been for golf," he joked, "this might have never happened."

8. Kenny and many other artists have contributed to a new CD entitled Patriotic 3, which is a charity album to raise awareness for Military Kids. The program provides assistance to kids who's parents have been deployed or injured and recovering.

Here is the list of performances found on the CD.

"A Lot Of Things Different," Kenny Chesney
"Letters From Home," John Michael Montgomery
"Blessed," Martina McBride
"My Front Porch Looking In," Lonestar
"Politically Uncorrect," Gretchen Wilson
"I'm From The Country," Tracy Byrd
"One More Day," Diamond Rio
"The Last Of A Dying Breed," Neal McCoy
"Long Arm Of The Law," Kenny Rogers
"The Fightin' Side Of Me," Merle Haggard and The Strangers
"Not Me," Keni Thomas
"God Bless America," LeAnn Rimes
"If I Don't Make It Back," Tracy Lawrence
"America," Waylon Jennings
"What Say You," Travis Tritt
"Everyday America," Sugarland
"Heroes And Friends," Randy Travis

9. Speaking Live on the national radio show GAC Nights, Kenny recently stated;

"I am that guy in 'Better as a Memory. I think this is a letter that I've written three or four times in my life to people, because at that point in my life when I wrote those letters, I was in such a focused period. I was a very zoned-in person on doing this out here, and you know, like the old Mac Davis song, 'Baby Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me,' you know, this is kind of that song, but in a little bit deeper of a way. When I wrote those letters, I was better as a memory than as their man, I promise you."

Lyrically it is stunning, and I tell you the music will just stick with you. Just a beautiful song!

Not sure whats happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Happy Woman Blues gets. Happy Woman Blues stated simply is one of Lucinda Williamss best CDs to date.

Unfortunately, its not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just cant force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Happy Woman Blues. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Rock isnt your favorite style you still cant help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

If youre a Lucinda Williams fan, or just a fan of Rock music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.

While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 4 - Happy Woman Blues, track 7 - One Night Stand, and track 11 - Sharp Cutting Wings.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Lafayette. Wow!

Kanye West Goldigger is by far the biggest hit on his new album Late Registration. A duet with Jamie Foxx, Goldigger mixes Kanye West's patented beats with a delectable sound off with Jamie Foxx.

Kanye West Goldigger has found its share of criticism among the rap and hip-hop community. Fans seemed to have higher hopes of the Late Registration album. Still, his loyalist fans are keeping his music CD sales afloat.

One Kanye West Goldigger fan, Diarci Jones of Los Angeles, California said, "Kanye has brought a sense of hope to the black and hip-hop community. I bought this album just to support his cause."

Whether Kanye West Goldigger is a hit or not, it seems fans will find any reason to buy it. Check out Goldigger and other hits from the Late Registration album with MP3s over the internet, or the music album CD on store shelves.

But the question raised in everyone's mind is: can Kanye stay at the top, despite his recent critisms of the Bush administration?

One White House staffer, Karl Jones said, "Kanye's partisan rhetoric may play chill on the streets, but his reckless comments at a fundraiser no less, were completely out of line."

Whether you like him or not, Kanye is one hot dude.

Russel Polaski is a shock-jock deejay out of San Diego, California. His interests include hip-hop music, break dancing and amateur music videos. He often writes articles for Prosumer News.
