Over the years, various musicians have modified the 12 bar blues in order to make it a little more interesting and unique. So I plan to cover a whole bunch of different variations or modifications or changes that are often used over the 12 bar blues. Some are quite simple and only involve one or two chord changes, but others are more complex and jazzy In this lesson I cover another jazz 12 bar blues. It's got a heap of chord substitutions and circle of fifth runs. It's quite complex and a little more jazzy than bluesy, but definitely worth knowing and keeping in your arsenal.
