The 12 Bar Blues is one of the most famous guitar chord progressions. In this practice session, Peter Vogl will show you how to play it with a swing feel. As you watch the video, pay attention to your right hand technique and make sure you are playing the strum pattern correctly. This one is a bit fast, so you may have to work on it several times to play everything cleanly and in time.
