I am putting together a long medley of as many songs with this chord progression as i can. The idea is to play almost like a disco without stops between the songs to keep a full dancfloor - the only thing is, this is not as easy as i thought it would be :oops:
i seem to be drawing a blank - i have johnny b goode, mustang sally, hound dog - but cant seem to think of any others that have the chords in the same order as these songs :oops:
does anybody have any ideas of songs which might fit this medley - they dont have to be in the same key, just follow the typical 12 bar progression??
thanks

p.s they wouldnt have to be old style rocknroll like chuck berry, tunes from any era would be fine :D

Hey send this post to our bass player that's all he wants to play... :lol:

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
Take most country songs, they're not only I IV V, but mostly G, C, D.
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?

Try throwing in songs from different eras - say, Be-bop-a-lula, Johnny B Goode and Summertime Blues from the 50's; Love Me Do, Wild Thing and Louie Louie (although that's actually I-IV-Vm) and Hang On Sloopy from the 60's; Rock'n'roll (Led Zep,) Hot Legs from the 70's.....etc etc etc. These are just a few that spring readily to mind.
For a little variation, try throwing in a few choruses with a V-IV-I progression - Mama Weer All Crazee Now springs to mind, there's probably hundreds, maybe thousands of others - mind's gone blank!
Dynamically, try alternating rock songs with country songs and blues songs - vary the tempo a little.
Just a few suggestions off the top of my head.
:D :D :D

there are tons of vintage 12 bar songs.
my brain exploded trying to write them all down.
you cannot do wrong with anything by Chuck Berry.
I read it as a request for minor key blues songs (i iv v vs I IV V). I think "The Thrill is Gone" qualifies.
