Boogie-woogie is not strictly a solo piano style; it can accompany singers and be featured in orchestras and small combos. It is sometimes called "eight to the [[bar (music)|bar]]", as much of it is written in [[common time]] ({{music|time|4|4}}) time using [[eighth notes]] ([[quaver]]s) (see [[time signature]]). The [[chord progressions]] are typically based on '''I'''–'''IV'''–'''V'''–'''I''' (with many formal variations of it, such as '''I'''/'''i'''–'''IV'''/'''iv'''–'''v'''/'''I''', as well as chords that lead into these ones).

For the most part, boogie-woogie tunes are [[twelve-bar blues]], although the style has been applied to popular songs such as "[[Old Folks at Home|Swanee River]]" and hymns such as "[[Just a Closer Walk with Thee (song)|Just a Closer Walk with Thee]]".
