Blues Special with Fraser and Tom

Join Fraser on guitar and Tom on drums as we look at the 12 bar blues, one of the most important progressions in music. We'll explain how it works, then jam it with some classic blues rhythms in two very different styles: major blues built on dominant 7th chords, and the darker sound of minor blues. You'll hear how the rhythm and feel change the approach for both guitar and drums.

In this live we'll cover:

  • How the 12 bar blues works

  • Classic blues rhythms and grooves

  • Dominant 7th chords and the major blues sound

  • Minor blues and how it differs

  • How guitar and drums lock in together, including fills that lead into each chord change
