Thread Name: Name for chord progression?
Subject: RE: Name for chord progression?
"The Crawdad Song" has a melody that (to me) sounds similar to parts of "Froggie Went A'Courting".
Both use just three chords: I, IV and V.
Can't see how the discussion of relative minors came in. They're not needed in this song.
On use of the term "White Blues", in this instance, is for a simple 3-chord Country song that uses 16-bar foundation and sounds Blues-like.
"Careless Love" shows up in Country Music at least as often as Blues, but it has 12-bar basic form. It can be called a Blues if you want. No real sharp line in this type of thing.
