Werewolves of London - Lyrics

Halloween is coming you know, so looking for suitable Halloween Songs, suggestions welcome...  You can find me at The Gov on 30th October for the Big Halloween Fancy Dress Party.

Yes I know that "Technically" it is 1 day before Halloween but I got a Billy Bragg Gig to go to on the 31st.

12 Bar Blues Backing Track In A Major

Hi there.
This is a guitar backing track, but play your Ukuleles over it, its cool.
The chord progression is a I IV V progression in A major, which using our Handy Dandy Inbuilt Chord Progression Calculator, or as I like to call it our Left Hand, means our Thumb is The Home Chord or I chord of A.
Count fingers up to the 4th finger ie A B C D and ta da our chord calculator gives us the IV chord of D and one more finger along and hey presto there is the V chord or E.  
Make em all 7th chords, or some 7th and some majors, mix it up have fun, experiment.
Listen/feel for the changes and the way the song feels resolved back to the I chord of A.  Keep counting and Jam On Ukers.
Cheers CC
