‘Blues Structure: 12 Bars and Beyond’ is the ultimate companion to learning pretty much every blues structure you will ever need.

The course covers 26 of the most popular chord structures used by blues bands and at jams. We’ll look at several versions of the 12 bar blues, as well as 8 bar, 16 bar and other classic forms.
 
By the end of the course, you will have improved your knowledge of the common chord progressions used in blues music, and feel more confident in playing along to almost any blues track - whatever the song structure!

In module 3 we’ll look at some more complex and jazz-tinged variations of the standard 12 bar progression.

You'll get:
* Step-by-step course to download and keep forever
* Short lessons in easy-to follow chunks
* Pro tips on classic blues structures
* Jam tracks to practice to
 
NOTE: You don’t need a harmonica to take the course, but if you want to play the practice lines along to the jam tracks in this module, you will need diatonic harmonicas in the keys of C, A, D, Eb.
