Hey Guys,
i was really curious to know if mustang sally is a typical 12 bar structure or is there an R&B inflection involved in it. I listen to it a few times and saw guitar playing it the I iv v dom7 progression but i detetced some subtly going on in the progression, or maybe im way off ? What do you guys think who had some experience or knowledge of the song or playing it before
This can lead into a discussion on R&B in its breakdown or form. I wouldnt mind that either . I think that also a good topic.
Thanks ,

Mustang isn't a typical 12 bar
Most bar bands will play
8 bars of I
4 bars of IV
4 bars of I
2 bars of V
2 bars of IV
4 bars of turnaround
There are many chord substitutions for the IV chord you could use
What was the RnB band doing?

Though I agree with JBharmonica .......
It is a typical 12 bar if every 2 bars equal 1 bar.

@JBharmonica- well lets take the original by Sir mac Rice or The Wilson Pickette version since they are well known. whats happening there ?
About chord substitution for the IV chord , can you perhaps give an example? . If that is so then it wouldnt be I IV V anymore .
24 bars all together. Ill experiment with on my guitar.

The commitments version is pretty "stock". I think you may be referring to the changes that the rhythm players are doing within the "I" chord. Typical types would be vii7 to I7 slide or ii7 to I7 slide
Same with the IV and corresponding chords. Diatonic Passing chords within the I chords are used all the time and pretty inherent with all chord players.
As far as IV chord substitutions, after the first 8 bars in the key of C
Instead of playing F7 for the 4 bars, play Am7b5 for one bar, Bb11 for one bar, G# 6/9 for one bar, then F7 for one bar.
