Q1: Describe the harmony in this song. (Try and describe the pattern even if you cannot pick the chords - eg. the first chord lasts for two beats then it changes to a chord that last for 8 bars). Is the pattern familiar at all?
The introduction lasts for four bars, then all the instruments are added to the song and it all stays the same, the chords are the same for 8 bars, then after the 8 bars the chords change for 2 bars then then goes back to the main chords for 4 bars, then changes chords for 2 bars, then back to the first chords for 2 bars. The song structure stays the same and simple, the chords used is: a major, d major, e major, these chords are similar to the 12 bar blues.
Q2: This song has "Blues" in the title. Is it a blues song?
no this song is not blues it has influences of blues but it is more country, rock and folk, there is blue influences because of the 12 bar blues, bending notes like blues songs use, usually blues songs are slow, but this song is upper tempo, in blues it is usually 12/8 but this song is 4/4, blues is usually in the key of minor but this song is in the key of a major, this song has a electric guitar witch makes the song sound rock.
