How do you know all of this great stuff? Steve E. The chord progression, otherwise expressed: I _ I _ IV _ I _ V _ IV-V _ I _ I. : : : : I forgot about the elision of extra spaces. Moreover, it has been a while for me, so if you know that I'm wrong, please tell me and the world what the correct chord progression is. A harmony on I, or "do," is sounded through two measures, and a chord on IV, or "fa," in the next measure-and so on.) This simple pattern, although characteristic of "pure" blues and boogie-woogie, is like everything else in art, subject to imaginative variation and deviation. (The numbers refer to chords on the named scale-tone. In bar 6, chords on IV and on V are each sounded through half the bar. The basic eight-bar blues/boogie-woogie chord progression (as opposed to twelve-bar blues), is: I I IV I V IV-V I I. However, the harmonic patterns are not infinite. : : : : : As for the hundreds of idiomatic left-hand patterns possible in boogie-woogie, I'll take the word of any boogie-woogie pianist. Of course, the musicians don't have to count to eight, give them a downbeat and they'll just go. ![]() In the context of classical music, baritone is a male singing voice that is placed between the lowest bass voice type and a higher tenor voice. Assuming you can find a downbeat (the main stress, in boogie-woogie usually a low note in the bass followed by higher and less emphatic tones) you should be able to count, starting with the downbeat as "one," eight counts before the next downbeat (which will be "one" all over again). A bar is the unit used to indicate how many beats are in a single segment of music. "Beat me" is, of course, a pun, so the expression means "Give me eight BEATS to the bar," the bar representing a musical measure marked by a strong beat and some number of secondary beats (or icti, or secondary stress accents, if you like). : : : : : I can certainly understand how a non-musician could find the expression daunting. Hence the term 'eight-to-the-bar,' as in the famous tune 'Beat Me, Daddy, Eight to the Bar.' There are hundreds of idiomatic left-hand patterns in Boogie Woogie." : : : : : : So, in the space that you might count a typical measure ('a-one, two, three, four'), the Boogie Woogie player would play 8 bass notes. : : : : : : ".Beat 1 Beat 2 Beat 3 Beat 4 : : : : : : As described by Chris Siebert, pianist for the Lavay Smith Band. : : : : : : It is a music term that I don't understand even after reading this: Just what does it mean? The only thing I can come up with is beats in a musical measure. : : : : : : : I have heard the phrase "beat me daddy, eight to the bar" in an Andrews Sisters song, and in the Bing Crosby movie "Going My Way". After the intro there is an 8 bar hook and then the verse is 16 bars going into another 8 bar hook followed by the rest of the beat.In Reply to: Eight to the bar posted by Smokey Stover on April 26, 2005 So count to 4 in rhythm with the music and that should be one bar. Remember, it’s the first 4 counts in a measure that makes up a bar. Listen and see if you count 8 bars in the intro. The rap beat below has an intro of 8 bars before the beat actually drops and you hear the kick and everything. I’ve attached a rap beat below to help you get some practice in listening to music and determining the length of the bars in the song and how many bars are in each verse/hook. The slower a song, the longer a bar will seem to be and vice versa. This repeats itself over and over….even if the snare or clap sound is absent because the rhythm of the song continues. To help you better understand, a bar in a rap song will normally consist of 2 rhythmic hits of the main snare or clap. It’s a simple 1-2-3-4 which goes with the pulse of the song and starts over after 4 normally. ![]() A bar is a fairly short piece of music, normally the first 4 counts in a measure of music. For example, when I’m making melodic rap beats it’s important that I have an idea of how many bars I want each verse in the beat to be. So, here we go:Ī bar in rap music is a section or measure of music that is a tool for structuring a song. These artists want to understand what exactly a bar is and what a verse is to better help them structure and create a rap song themselves. ![]() Good question! I’m making this post because I know there are a lot of rap artists (or aspiring rap artists) out there who would like to know the more technical side of these sorts of terms. Normally you’ll hear rap music fans refer to a rappers’ “bars” in a positive or negative way: “He spittin dem bars!” or “He got dem bars!”…but have you ever wondered to yourself “What exactly is a bar in rap music?” I’m sure you’ve heard the term “rap bar” or simply “bars” before when referring to a rap song.
