A Fun 12 Bar Blues Progression with Riff
Here’s a fun yet easy progression you can jam with in A pentatonic minor. The chords are simply Am7, Dm7 and Em7.
Try experimenting with your own riffs in between chord changes, or replace one of the changes entirely with a 1 bar solo.
Don’t be afraid to go nuts with it!

would probably enjoy these lessons and learn something from them if they would stream smoothly. I find them more annoying than informative due to the fact that they are so chopped up and don’t stream worth a darn.

Hi Rod, thanks for the heads up. I’ll change up the embedding settings on the videos; hopefully that will clear things up a bit. One other thing you can do is pause the video before it really gets going and let it buffer (you can see the faint red line filling up). Once it is buffered then you should be able to play it smoothly. If not, then it would be some sort of computer problem on your end, I’m afraid.
Cheers

Jonathan,
Keep on doing, just what your doing!! The videos are crystal clear on my laptop. Just a lot of fun and not too serious like some of the other guys out there. I see you have started to relax a little more, and you look more confortable doing the the lessons. Keep them comming and don’t change a thing.
Have Fun Live Life !!! PEACE James

Nice and clear, better job than some others out there, great thats all I can say, at least you do what so many critiques just ‘talk about’, for that its perfect. Keep at it and brilliant A1 job. I will recommend you to anyone who asks me where to learn this from.
Thanks, best of health and spirit,

Great work. No problem with the videos. I too would welcome tabs to accompany the lessons is it possible to offer the option of downloading a pdf file with the tab? I know it would make more work for you and I really value your input and help.
