The Early 4
The Second progression we have what is called the Early 4. It uses the same chords and same
amount of bars but involves changing chord at different times in the 12 bar. We call it the early 4
because we move to the 4 chord 1 bar earlier then we do in the standard 12 bar. The same
diagrams for this are shown below.
