8 Bar Blues

Begin Tutorial
Description

In this tutorial we will learn and play an 8 bar blues. We'll use a classic ascending chord progression, then add some circle of fifths motion to give it a slightly R&B or jazzy sound. We'll also learn some classic bluesy licks to play over the progression following the chord changes.
