About this Quote

Marc Bolan's quote speaks with the simpleness of blues music. By mentioning that the majority of blues things are within a 12-bar pattern, he is referring to the fact that blues music is typically made up of a duplicating 12-bar chord development. This chord development is the foundation of many blues songs, and it is fairly easy to discover and play. This makes blues music a perfect category for house practice, as it is simple to learn and play. Bolan's quote likewise speaks to the universality of blues music. By mentioning that many blues things are within a 12-bar pattern, he is implying that blues music is a category that is available to all musicians, despite ability level. This is why Bolan takes pleasure in playing blues music in your home, as it is a genre that he can easily find out and practice.
