12-bar blues is essential to many musical styles: jazz, rock, R & B, folk, country, (and obviously, BLUES!). In this lesson, you will: Internalize blues form (So that you never lose your place again!), Write your own original blues lyrics, Learn and practice the basic blues chord changes, Learn the blues scale, and How to solo with it.
Listen to and analyze the blues artistry of musicians like Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Jimi Hendrix, and the Beatles. Jam to backing tracks in different styles, including funk, bossa nova, and bebop. This lesson is open to all levels and is also great for teachers who want to teach the blues to others.
This lesson was recorded as part of Strings Without Boundaries, a multi-style string conference operating for over 27 seasons. In partnership with artistic director Julie Lyonn Lieberman, recordings from past Strings Without Boundaries conferences are now available on myTalentForge.
