Rockabilly Music Followed a Simple Formula to Create a Revolution - And Also Broke The Rules!

In some ways, different flavors of popular music have been all over the board stylistically. There are big differences between Sinatra and Hank Williams! But in other ways--structurally speaking--it's surprising how closely different pop styles follow similar structural patterns. In that respect, rockabilly music shares much in common with many different genres of popular music.
Having grown out of a combination of country, blues, gospel, and rhythm and blues music of the early half of last century, it shouldn't be too surprising that rockabilly music shares much in common with each of those genres. Specifically, rockabilly songs typically follow the familiar 12-bar blues pattern that forms the foundation of millions of songs that have been written and recorded in not only the blues style, but also country, rock and roll, folk music, and many others.
So, what exactly is the "12-bar blues" pattern? For musicians who play in any of the styles I've mentioned here, the pattern is second nature. Musicians who don't pay much attention to music theory may not even realize they're playing the pattern--it just appears in so many songs that it's been ingrained into them. But many non musicians have maybe heard the term and wondered what it's all about. And for rockabilly fans, why should you care?
Well, you certainly are not required to understand the 12-bar blues pattern to enjoy rockabilly music, but if you're interested to know how it works, here's a down-and-dirty basic summary!
The pattern is simply a structure that the song writer uses to create a song that makes sense to the western listener's ear. There's no law that says a song writer must stick to the structure, but one can't go too far wrong with it. The structure brings instant familiarity to the listener and makes them feel comfortable with where the song's going. The composer applies this structure typically to the verses of the song and--not surprisingly given the structure's name--it is 12 bars, or musical measures, long. The end of those 12 bars leads comfortably into the next section of the song whether it be another 12-bar verse pattern or a variation used as a chorus, solo, or bridge section.
Let's take the classic Carl Perkins song "Blue Suede Shoes" for our example. The song sticks to the 12-bar blues structure and may be the greatest rockabilly song ever written. Think of the first verse of the song where Perkins helps us count out the measures by providing us with the famous "Well it's one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go cat go."
The "one," "two," and "three" of the lyrics fall on the first beat of measures one, two, and three of the verse. Add in the "go cat go" and you've already made it through four of the 12 bars in the pattern. Perkins uses essentially the same musical chord for those first four measures. That chord may specifically be an E or an A or any other chord depending upon the key in which the song is played, but generically it is known as the "one" chord. The choice of that chord is related to the 12-bar blues in that a very common chording pattern (one, four, one, five, one) typically works hand in hand with the 12-bar pattern. That's another discussion for another day and starts diving deeper into music theory than most fans want to get!
After those first four bars, the song switches to what's known as the "four" chord and the song's melody changes accordingly. The song stays on the four chord for two bars. In our example, Perkins sings, "Now don't you step on my blue suede" and we're six bars in--half way through the pattern. The word "shoes kicks off the seventh bar of the pattern back on the "one" chord and Perkins fills the rest of bar seven and bar eight with a nifty guitar riff.
Over bars nine and ten, Perkins sings "do anything, but lay offa my blue suede shoes" over what's known as the "five" chord. He finishes off the pattern back on the one chord with his great guitar lick again and then the whole pattern repeats itself as he launches into the "Well you can knock me down..." of verse two.
"Blue Suede Shoes" is a brilliant example of the 12-bar blues pattern in rockabilly music. It's actually somewhat unusual because the song doesn't have a distinct chorus section. Instead, Perkins builds what serves as his chorus right into the last eight bars of the verse so that the two actually share the same 12-bar pattern instead of using distinctly different patterns for each.
"Blue Suede Shoes" is simply a great example of the 12-bar blues pattern used in rockabilly and other forms of popular music. Things get even more interesting when song writers start playing with and experimenting around the standard pattern. There are no set rules about how many bars a song or its individual sections has to have. For example, Gene Vincent's brilliant "Be Bop a Lula" uses a standard 12-bar blues pattern for the chorus (where Gene sings, "Be Bop a Lula she's my baby. Be Bop a Lula I don't mean maybe." and so on.) But his verse sections use an unusual eight-bar pattern and it all works beautifully.

Cheap Electric Guitars - Some Details For You To Have A Look At Before Parting With The Cash

When you come to buy your first guitar there are some general rules that are going to apply, however the number one is going to be taking your time. There is generally no need to rush into it and it is best to find a guitar that best suits your playing style and pocket.
So, having made the time to get the choice right there are some things that you can add to your list of things to consider:
• The action (or the gap between the fretboard and the strings): if the action is too high, it could make playing difficult, uncomfortable and probably painful for you. If it is too low, you may experience buzzing frets, which believe me is one of the most irritating problems you will encounter.
• Please make sure the guitar's neck is straight. Having a bent or warped neck will make playing difficult. This can be checked by simply holding up the guitar and looking along the fretboard.
• You will also need to check the intonation by playing the Twelfth fret harmonic, and then the Twelfth fret note. They should sound at the same pitch. If they are not, that will require fixing.
• The electrical wiring is vital on any electric guitar therefore you will need to check the tone and volume controls work and also the pickup selector switch works.
You will need to check that all the pickups function and that they sound clean with no crackles or loss of sound level.
Even an online guitar shop will offer a free set-up with each new purchase. This option should always be taken because a well set up guitar will be a joy to play from the outset. A badly set up instrument will be a frustrating and ultimately damaging playing experience.
For your first amplifier a solid-state one (rather than a tube amp) should be considered. Marshall, Fender, Line 6, Vox and Peavey all make a great range of cheaper and very functional starter amps.
Other bits and pieces you will need are a guitar lead and I would recommend that you don't go for one which is too short or even too long. About 3m is perfect. You will also need a guitar strap, picks in a range of thicknesses so you can find out your preference (they are pretty cheap). No matter what guitar you buy you are going to have to change the strings too, again this will be down to personal preference, but please make sure that whatever strings you choose are suited to the guitar you have brought.
A clip on chromatic guitar tuner is also a must unless you have a trained ear unlike about Ninety nine percent of us.
You can part with as much or as little as you wish, but musical instruments are certainly examples of the 'you get what you pay for' statement. The internet provides a fantastic source of information for researching guitars and how well they perform. It should probably be noted at this point too that the biggest selling acoustic in the world is the Washburn d10s acoustic guitar which starts at less than £140. The world's bestselling electric guitar is the Fender Stratocaster which is a little bit more pricey; however there are some great models out there and a couple of hundred pounds will get you a decent and playable example.  need not always be a false view and if you stick to some of the advice above you will not go far wrong.

How To Buy Your New Guitar

Ok, so you want to learn how to play the guitar, or you want your kids to learn how to play. The problem is you don't own a guitar, so you will need to buy one. The following will tell you what to look for in a good quality guitar without breaking the bank.
So how do you buy a guitar? Well there's a right way and a wrong way. The wrong way is to just buy the first guitar you see when you're inexperienced and don't know what to look for. Lets say you're buying a guitar for your 5 year old son because you want him to become a rock star; Right? Good luck with that!
If you go and buy a 5 year old kid a full-sized guitar it would be the same as giving him a String Bass or an Upright Bass that stands about 6' high. In other words, he /she would need a chair in order to play it. Even a full-sized guitar would dwarf him, as he is still developing. A better choice would be a concert size or ½ size guitar these small guitars are specially made for kids in the 3-6 year old range. For the 6-10 year olds, a ¾ size guitar would be appropriate. Above 10 years of age, go with the full size guitar. These are just some guidelines. There are a lot of other factors to consider.
Will your 4 or 5 year old son or daughter even want to play the guitar? Remember there are a lot of other activities going on in their lives, such as playing sports, playing with friends, and video games etc. Will they still want to play the guitar once their finger tips start to hurt from pushing down the steel strings on the guitar fret board? This is one of the major reasons why children and beginner guitarists quit playing so soon. It's a major guitar complaint..."My Fingers Hurt!" This is probably the number #1 complaint in the top 10 list of reasons for quitting the guitar soon after starting. But fear not, as there are ways around this problem.
Generally, when a beginner is learning there is always going to be a certain amount of finger discomfort no matter what type of guitar you buy. It's just the nature of the beast.
A good work around for this problem is to buy a classical guitar. The strings are made of nylon, and the tension on the strings is less than the tension typical of steel strings acoustic guitars. Less tension and softer strings equals less pain on the fingers.
The down side of course is kids tend to think classical guitars aren't as cool as an electric. However, manufacturers are making very cool cutaway nylon acoustics. These guitars have part of the body "cut away" so that you can easily play higher up the neck. Other guitar models come with built-in pick-ups, and equalizers. How cool is that? Another advantage is they also come in ½ sizes thereby solving the sore finger problem.
You may have a young daughter who wants to learn guitar, but doesn't like the look or style of all the macho male electric guitars out there. Fret not, as there is a guitar manufacturing Co. Called "Daisy Guitars." They specialize in making guitars specifically for the female gender. They have a wide array of shades more subtle colours, and body shapes in their guitar selection. Check them out!
Good action on a guitar means it plays real easy and nice. The strings are nice and low above the frets and there is no string buzz anywhere along the neck when you press the strings down. A cheap guitar won't stay in tune, as the result of low quality tuning pegs that will be difficult to turn. The strings may be set so high above the fret board that you just about have to stand on them to play it. Obviously this isn't what we want.
A Cautionary Word:
If you buy a solid body electric guitar you have to buy a guitar amplifier, as you won't be able to hear it very well without amplification. Guitar companies such as Fender and Peavey package beginner electric guitars and amplifiers together, so you don't have to decide what amp goes with the guitar you purchased, as they do it for you.
If you purchase a hollow body acoustic guitar, you'll be able to hear it, but if you want to amplify it, you will need to buy a guitar amplifier and external pick-up, that fits your acoustic guitar.
Keep in mind that there are many quality guitar manufacturers such as, Paul Reed Smith, Gibson, Fender, Martin, etc. However, the real high quality guitars can cost big bucks.
The more reasonable lower end guitar brands like Yamaha, Jackson, Cort, Seagull, and Simon Patrick, etc. have models targeted toward beginners and those budget conscious guitar shoppers. Professional music stores will absolutely amaze you with the variety of choice and selection they will have on the floor for you to try. The sales people tend to be knowledgeable and if not too busy - helpful.
The choice is up to you. Do you want to have your head blown off by a kid practising with an electric guitar and amp? (Trust me on this...I guarantee the kid will want to see how loud the amplifier can go, so plan on a special sound proof room, or get a real good pair of ear plugs.) The alternative is to get him/her a classical guitar. It's your decision.
Finally, if music stores seem a little intimidating, you can always buy guitars on-line.
Most of the large reputable guitar companies already mentioned in the article sell guitars on the internet. It's worth checking out.
If you are not an expert in this field, make sure you bring along a guitar playing musician friend who knows about guitars. Don't know any guitar musicians? Ask around and find out where the reputable guitar stores are. The experts there will be able to help you with all your concerns, answer any questions you may have, and put the right instrument in your hands, or your child's hands. Happy Guitar Shopping!
