The 12-bar blues chord progression is used in countless many well-loved songs in rock, jazz, and popular culture. Basic Blues is based on this progression and provides the perfect learning format for the discovery of blues for new pianists. A steady walking bass line sets the foundation while chord symbols tell Right Hand what notes they can use to improvise fun swing rhythms. (Simple rhythms are notated in the music for those not inclined to improvise).
