Beginner Guitar Lesson – Basic 12 Bar Blues Rhythms

In Beginner Guitar Lessons | on January, 21, 2010 | by | 4 Comments

Well it has been a very rainy week here in Los Angeles and it is kinda giving me the blues so I thought a nice introduction to blues guitar rhythm was in order.

The 12 bar blues progression is one of the most used in popular music, so even if your not a big fan of the blues it is a good idea to try and understand what a 12 bar blues progression is.

Take your time and learn the chord forms before trying to apply the rhythms to them. I will be using the same chord forms found in the basic open position seventh chords lesson that we did here on the site. If you don’t know your open position sevenths, just do a search for that lesson and download the lesson PDF.

Here is the PDF TAB download for this lesson.
