The statement is true. A stanza, also known as a verse, of 12-bar blues usually consists of four phrases, each phrase consisting of three bars (measures) of music. The 12-bar blues is a standard chord progression commonly used in blues music, and it typically follows an AAB lyrical pattern where the first and second phrases are identical and the third phrase provides a contrasting resolution. The fourth phrase is often used as a turnaround, leading back to the beginning of the progression for the next stanza. This structure creates a cyclical and repetitive form that is characteristic of the blues genre.
