12 Bar Blues Revisited, pt. II

In last month’s post 12 Bar Blues Revisited I discussed adding Cowboy Chords as another way to have students practice a 12 bar blues. In particular I chose the I IV and V chords from the key of A (A, D, E). This month students will now add dominant 7th chords to their vocabulary by applying A7, D7 and E7 chords - attached is 12 bar blues using dominant 7th chords. With the inclusion of dominant 7th chords, students will now have four ways to practice their 12 bar blues: 

1. Power Chords (open string) 

2. Power Chords with a shuffle rhythm 

3. Open Chords (major) 

4. Open Chords (dominant 7ths)
