Today we’re going to combine chords and melody using a G – C – D ( I – IV – V ) chord progression. This is a fun one that you’ll enjoy practicing. See the video lesson and Tabs below.

Combining Chords with Melody

You can play this sweet little melody between the chords of G – C and D, but once you got those comfortable under your fingers you can also use others chord derived from the G major scale like: G – Am- Bm – C – D – Em – F#dim – G. Okay F#dim will be your least favorite, but the others chords will sound great around the melody.

Enjoy experimenting and have fun!

12 Bar Blues Basic Strumming + Triplet Turnarounds

By Klaus Crow 7 Comments

Hi lovely people, I’ve got a 12 Bar Blues Progression for you today with a basic strumming pattern, a basic turnaround and some extra fancy triplet turnarounds to spice things up.

Basic 12 Bar Blues Progression

This 12 Bar Blues shuffle is in the key of E and moves through the following 12 bar chord progression:

/ E7 / E7 / E7 / E7 / A7 / A7 / E7 / E7 / B7 / A7 / E7 / B7 /

The last four bars of the progression function as the turnaround. You can play this by strumming through the pattern / B7 / A7 / E7 / B7 / or finish it with a more enhanced turnaround that makes the progression sound really cool. Eventually you want to learn both. If you’re a beginner just start with the basic turnaround.

Basic 12 Bar Blues Strumming Pattern

For the strumming pattern we play: ↓↓↑↑↓↑ “down-down-up-up-down-up” for each bar / measure throughout the entire progression.

Below there’s a video lesson where I explain the entire 12 bar blues with the strumming patten and different blues turnarounds.

Enjoy!
