Video Title: Want a Killer 12 Bar Blues to Get Out of a Rut?
Most of us start out playing the same blues shuffle pattern you know the one or if you’re feeling adventurous it’s modified like this and that’s cool but it’s really easy to get stuck there in this lesson I’ll show you a killer 12-bar blues rhythm to help get you out
Of that rut now this still is rooted in that shuffle feel that one and two and three and four and but we’re going to expand on it as you’ll see still we need to lay out that foundation and we’re gonna use our thumb to accomplish this and you’ll notice throughout this lesson
We’re gonna use our thumb to do almost everything here so we’ll play along with the one and two and three and four and then we’ll add a chord move at the top of the beat now did you notice that I stepped into that chord move with the
Beep under this e major on the fifth string so what I’m doing for that quarter move is just laying down and catching these tones from an a chord and a major chord then I’m hammering back into my major especially calling out this minor third to major third all right all
Thumb here then back to the base but that leaves that second half of the measure of the rhythm figure kind of bare so let’s spice it up with a little bass run to round out the measure what I’m doing here is still holding down this emajor shape but for b4 I’m
Actually playing a triplet the open D then our E flat into e here all on the fourth string and I’m walking into that triplet in much the same way we walked into or stepped into that chord move with our B on the fifth string all right
So that’s really the guts of this groove and we can base an entire 12 bar progression around that you’ll notice as I play through it that we’ll just change a few things here and there to connect through the chord changes Now in the spirit of spicing things up definitely make sure that you’re changing these parts work to get this down but then use it as a platform to change the base run change the chord moves strum a little bit differently add a lick there’s really a lot that you can
Do to make this your home and to give you some help along those lines I prepared a playlist for you full of some ways to spice up your 12 bar blues so go ahead click play over there and I’ll see you in the next video until then practice smart and play on

good lesson but that guitar sounds like shiiiiit
Should play the entire lesson , then break it down
I'm stuck on D& C chords. Thanks for changing that 💪😎👍💥🎶

Repent and put your trust in Jesus. We're all sinners and deserve Hell, but Christ died on the Cross for our sins. He didn't stay dead. He rose on the third day! If you repent and put your trust in Jesus, you will be saved!
Romans 3:23
John 3:16
Absolutely fantastic, John, thank you. May I ask what kind of guitar you're playing there? It sounds so good. Is it a half-size model? A particular brand? I've been thinking of getting a new acoustic, and that looks like a real contender– thank you!
Thankyou
Smitten with your guitar.
Hi John
I recently signed up for a month. I consider myself and advanced player. I find some of your lessons to be challenging and the others, the simplistic basics are necessary to revisit like this lesson. It's easy to get bored with a basic shuffle. But your lesson is spot on. This is how you add zest to your playing. Youre a great guitar player and a better teacher. I look forward to your study when I return from my trip. Please, play on!
Thank you John! I'm an advanced beginner and this lesson was a real break through for me! I've had trouble playing transition notes between chords and this lesson really helped me. Thanks! I dig the guitar!
nice one bro, subbed.
Amazing, pls also check out my short acoustic blues..
This is the 1st channel I have seen that makes sense to me
is that a classical guitar with metal strings? Is that thing common and if so what is it called?
Thanks for this lesson. I greatly appreciate the 12 box graphic. It helps guys like me to understand what the 12 bars look like. Perfect!
will try this tomorrow
Nice one, really nice lesson, thank you!!
Neat lesson, thank you! That’s fun to play.
Jimmy Hendrix always like to play around with the E as he does in the song; All along the watchtower, written by Bob Dylan.
lol, except Dylan's version isn't the popular one, Jimmy's is.😁
Sounds like Boogie Chillen by John Lee Hooker.
Nice!
Mad thanks brother
Jeff Healy is still alive? Or that he's not playing the geetar on his lap…I don't know which I'm more astonished by
I like Blues but could never get interested d in learning it because it all sounds like the same old rut… And you'd have to be a virtuoso blues player to make it sound more interesting (that's definitely not me). But your video has inspired me to give Blues another try and maybe it won't some and so boring and predictable. It's amazing what a bit of creativity can to yo transform a boring, predictable same old 12 bars chord progression and make it howl, scream, whatever… But it's still the same old chords pattern…. It's the basis of all more n music, though some might disagree…
Can’t wait to give it a crack , what’s the little guitar you’re using
