You’ll learn how to play a 12 Bar Blues chord progression in the key of E. We’ll first cover the chords that make up this progression (E7, A7, B7). Next, you’ll learn the order and length to play each of the chords. Jody will play this chord progression with a shuffle rhythm and demonstrate along with a backing track.
