Texture Simply put, texture is the amount of instruments playing at the same time within a song. Monophonic – a single melodic line with no accompaniment Polyphonic – several melodic lines, which are to some respect independent Homophonic – multiple voices in which one, the melody, stands out and the others form a background harmony (most common texture). Hetrophonic - two or more voices simultaneously performing variations of the same melody.

Chord progressions/Cadences The most typical chord progression is: I IV V I C F G C This is also an example of a perfect cadence Most blues songs follow a 12 bar chord progression: I I I I V V I I IV V I I C C C C G G C C F G C C
