I just heard of a 32 bar progression. ::)
What is it???
What are some other bar progressions??
I'm trying to find a song structure to build chord progressions on for a song???
Thanks!!!!

There are various - 8, 12 (standard blues), 16, 24 (I think) and 32.
Other than 8 and 12 are extremely rare.
They tell you that the song is broken up into sequences of chords 8, 12, etc. bars long. For example, a 12 bar blues has a chord progression of I-I-I-I-IV-IV-I-I-V-IV-I-V (12 bars using the I, IV and V chords from the key). This sequence is repeated throughout the song
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

I've also seen a 10-bar progression. I'm sure there are other variations as well.
In part, it's going to depend on time signature - in alla breve (cut time) you can easily give chords twice there normal durations, so 32 bar progressions can be the same as 16 bar progressions with different note values.

I hear a lot of music that uses 16 bars, too - especially jazz.
