Check it out, here is the basic 12 Bar Blues:
A7 | D7 | A7 | A7
D7 | D7 | A7 | A7
E7 | E7 | A7 | A7
Play each chord for 4 beats.
Now, the fun can begin!
==============
Simple Chord Colors To Add
A7 = A9, A13, A7#11
D7 = D9, D13, D9#11
E7 = E9, E13
- So you can swap out some plain old dominant 7 chords for more colorful dominant 7 chords that have a 9 or 13.
==============
Chord Substitutes
- In the video I add in some extra chords, below is the final example with all additions.
A13 | D9 D#dim7 | A13 |Em9 Eb9
D9 | D#dim7 | A13 | Bm7b5 F#7b9
Bm7 | E7 | A7 | E7
Cool, right? If you want to try out some Charlie Parker style blues changes that would be:
Amaj7 | G#m7b5 C#7b9 | F#m7 B13 | Em7 A13
D7 | Dm7 G13 | Dbm7 Gb13 | Cm7 F7b9
