Intermediate 12-Bar Blues Workshop

This six-week series focuses on intermediate guitar techniques within the 12-bar blues format. Participants explore connecting minor pentatonic and blues-scale patterns across the fretboard, utilizing movable seventh chords, and developing blues rhythm patterns and turnarounds. The curriculum includes building shuffle grooves, refining techniques such as bends and slides, and developing the ability to hear and respond to chord changes. Sessions emphasize practical improvisation, including call-and-response, phrasing, and trading solos with other musicians to improve rhythm playing, lead guitar confidence, and overall musical expression during jam sessions.
