39111"Melodic Blues Progressions" -- Ted Greene, 1977-07-20 (p.2)
The basie progression above is just the normal I-IV-V type that "everybody" plays, but the difference
is that many of the above I7, IV7 and V7 chords are preceded by their own V7 chords. Also the last
measures have a common turnaround" of 17-V17-I17-V7.
* Turnaround - a chord progression used to fill up space, usually at the end of a phrase.Peay ut AMEE, yg AKANE BRvES (ROGRESSIONS naan
