Video Lesson 2-1-08 - 12 Bar blues melodic structure, simple solo phrasing and a song

[Mark Wein]

This week I am extending the 12 Bar Blues lesson quite a bit.

We have a sample song that we are using to analyze a simple but pretty common "3 phrase" structure for a 12 bar blues, and then I am extending that concept into a solo where we break each of the 3 4 measure "phrases" into a "question and answer" idea to give your solo some structure.

Over the next couple of lessons we will build the example into a complete song/arrangement with "stop breaks", an intro, extended solo and a tagged ending...pretty much every cliche and device I can cram into the song to illustrate their uses will be explored!
