greghagger Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Did you know that Jazz is heavily influenced by Blues and that the Jazz Blues chord progressions come directly from the humble 12-Bar Blues? In my new video 'Evolution Of The Jazz Blues', I show a clear path from the tradition 12-Bar Blues progression to the more complex Jazz Blues progressions used by Jazz musicians such as Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. Understanding this link is vital if you want to really understand the lineage of the Jazz Blues and play walking bass lines to these chord progressions. I’ve put the various chord progressions from the lesson on a free PDF which is downloadable from a link underneath the video. There’s also the ‘standard’ Bebop Jazz Blues progression on the PDF and you should know this if you want to survive a Jazz jam night! If you’re looking to start playing Jazz then this is definitely a good video to check out. Have fun! https://youtu.be/g2J3g8EvYRc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
