Interesting. I wonder how does that affect nearly every twelve-bar blues ever written?

And what about 1-6-4-5 progressions?

Many of them sound exactly the same.


Well all the blues songs sound the same. Yesterday doesn't. Do you realize how many rock bands would never have released a single song if the 1-4-5-6 or 1-6-4-5 progressions were copyrighted....????

I think I will now go a plagiarize a C-F-G progression and claim it as my own. I might raise it a few steps to E-A-B to throw off the copyright claimants. You reckon they'll notice?

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
