This 12 Bar Blues is in the key of G and moves through 12 bar chord progression. The riff contains hammer-ons and a cool technique to give the blues some extra oomph.

The chord progression is as follows:

/ G7 / G7 / G7 / G7 / C7 / C7 / G7 / G7 / D7 / C7 / G7 / D7 /

A second guitarist could literally play this chord progression while you’re playing the 12 bar blues riff or you could record the progression on your phone and play the riff over the progression.

Hi guitar friends, today I’m gonna teach you the 7PM FABULOUS BLUES LICK. I recorded this video lesson at around 7 PM Central European time, and the lick sounds kind of fabulous don’t you think so? 😉 so there you have it. 😄

Blues Lick in the key of A

We’re playing a lick that is created around the pentatonic blues scale and finds itself in the key of A and contains the blue note (b5) and the major 3rd. We got some hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides in there. No bend-ups in this one and the lick finishes with a slide into an A7 chord. Really nice.

Below you can find the tabs and video lesson to learn this fabulous blues lick.

Enjoy!
