If covered somewhere else, please refer me there David.

What would be an approach to tackling one chord songs? Got hit with one at the last jam and never really thought about it before. I know there are 8 bar blues and 16 bar blues but they have a chord sequence like the 12 bar blues. Can you take a similar approach to chorus forms (A,A,B)?? Are the varied in chorus length the same way (eg. 12 bars)? How do you know when the chorus is over and a new one is starting? Turnaround? etc.

Would this be a possible lesson or is it so obvious that I'm missing something??
