Hey just a quick hit here,'


      Can someone get me up to speed on 12 barbluz,  I've been working on I, IV, V progressions, and so far they sound about right.....Is there anything I should be also focusing on???

P.s.   I, IV, V would be E, A, B for example..  Correct??

Thanks Guys,


    That was very helpful.  I can play 12 bar by ear, but have never dabbled in the theory.
It's nice to understand the reasons behind what sounds good to my ear.
