12 Bar Blues Progression
The metronome will play a 4-beat count-in and then you can record your 12 bar blues sequence using the G, C and D chord strips 4.Once you have reached the end of the 12 bars, GarageBand will play back the string part from bar 1. Listen to the part you recorded to make sure you’re happy with it and then press. Hey guys, In this lesson we’re going to learn about the three basic 12 bar blues formats. Though similar, it is very important to be able to play these different formats and understand the differences. For those who dream of blues jamming, this is a very important step! Enjoy the lesson guys!
I’m using GarageBand on my iPad Air 2, iOS 11. Tried to do a song in 12/8. Tried heavy swing in 4/4 (totally wrong feel), & tried 6/8, but you need two 6/8 bars to equal one 12/8 bar & using the drum sequencer...well, it doesn’t work out well. Had to have each section as one bar because the pattern wasn’t the same for all 4 beats. Lots of 1 bar sections, no thank you. Does anyone know if there’s any help on the horizon from Apple? 12/8 is pretty common when you‘re doing blues or country or a whole host of other genres.
