the blues

you know that really basic blues riff, the one you always hear, that you can get people to improvise lyrics to. "i got the blues, craft, macaroni and cheeeeese! i got the blues!" yea, that one. what are the tabs for it?


cheers

 

Um... 12 bar shuffle? E-A-G-E chord progression?

 

which one does he mean? there's a few cliche blues bits...

 

He's asking about the one from the kraft macaroni and cheese commercial.

 

just like he said... good point.

yeah i can't think of which one is in the commercial tho

 

to be honest, i wasnt thinking about the kraft commercial when i was writing this post. i had just watched dawsons creak (dont shoot me, i was bored and it was the only thing on) and some of the characters were singing on stage with a blues band who was playing for them

guess that doesnt help much

 

um... no, not really.

I hate that kraft commercial.

 

i like maccaroni

 

I like pasta salad.

 

D-2-2-4-4-5-5-4-4
A-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0


?

Or just E-A-E-G-E.

Mmm..blues.

 

A 12bar would be:

E E E E
A A E E
B A E E

Thats a very basic version, and theres loads of variations. The best way to learn the blues is to listen to it. The chords are always very simple to pick up. Good luck with it.

 

Or if you just play guitar when you feel down mang.

Have fun anywho.

 

I guess u just mean the tune u get when u play 1,1,3,3,4,4,3,3 on any string, or the same finger position beginning anywhere on the fretboard, but it cant get more basic then that. Try it with powerchords, then u get
3 3, 5 5, 6 6, 5 5
3 3, 5 5, 6 6, 5 5
1 1, 3 3, 4 4, 3 3
