Hi Everyone,

While I'm away sick today, please continue working on your 12 bar blues assignment, and focus mainly on the first twelve bars.  If you have a permission form and money for the Scratch Lab trip, please give it to Mr. Pinhorn. Continue to practice your F+ chords as you will be tested next week.  If you did not get a sheet they are up at the front on the ledge.  See you on Wednesday.

For the 12-Bar Blues Assignment, record:
- chords
- walking bassline
- jazz style drums (swing eighth notes)
- blues melody (with lyrics!)

Your blues melody should be simple and repetitive.  As a general rule, use one note (rhythmically) per syllable of a word.  Write your lyrics FIRST, then write a melody to work with the lyrics.  Check out the examples listed on the assignment on YouTube for some inspiration.

Write your blues lyrics on a word document to be submitted with the final assignment.
