Similarly, hundreds of thousands of blues, jazz, R&B and rock songs and instrumentals have been written on nearly identical blues changes. For example, Duke Ellington's Cottontail, Charlie Parker's Anthropology and Dexterity, Sonny Rollins' Oleo (and 'The Flintstones Theme') all were written on top of the changes of George Gershwin's composition I Got Rhythm. Many different tunes have been written on identical chord sequences. We should note here that chord progressions cannot be copyrighted as musical compositions, a fact that jazz composers and improvisors have depended upon for nearly a century which has enlivened America's musical life. If you visit The Lessons, we'll give you lots of ideas to help you understand how to use these in your own musical learning. You can use these as accompaniments as you sing, you can practice with them, you can use them to compose your own music. Produce all of the forms required for the existing tunes while adding more tunes to the list. Only aįew of the progressions presented here have more than one form recorded. We intend to present the changes in four differentįorms: chords only, chords w/ bass, chords w/ drums, chords w/ bass and drums.
