12 Bar Blues

The 12 bar blues is very common progression, and can be used in a variety of settings for several types of interventions (great for songwriting, improvisation, vocalization and so much more!). In this video I demonstrate the 12 bar blues in it's most basic form, using my go-to rhythmic comping. The blues is all about feel; let yourself fall into the pocket naturally.
