Learn More »Note: This 12 Bar Blues Chord Guitar lesson for beginners is divided in two parts, this is Part 1. Blues is not only an exciting, popular and guitar friendly style of music, but a very influential style as well. The 12 bar blues chords guitar influence pops up in all styles of contemporary rhythm guitar, both in terms of it’s chord and form structure and in terms of it’s voicing. Typically built on 12 bar blues chords progressions, a blues song may be built on a single note riff or on a chord progression, or perhaps a combination of the two. In this lesson, we will focus on basic chording techniques for the beginning blues rhythm guitarist. You can also practice all your blues chords and progressions in the Uberchord app (click for free download) available for all iOS users. The app gives you instant feedback and even has a chord trainer. The blues involves lots of 7th chords and other basic chords so please click here if you want to get good at guitar chords and click here if you need to brush on guitar chord notation. Our app is a great resource for all of this of course, but our free blog posts will help you improve even more quickly. We recommend that you learn the 7th chords, the A and E chords, and then some basic 12 bar blues riffs. In it’s most often imitated form, a blues chord progression can be built by using chords built on the 1st, 4th, and 5th degrees of any given major scale, producing a “12 bar blues” progression in that key. In example 1 below, a 12 bar blues chords progression is shown in the key of G, using open position dominant 7th chords, the type of chord typically associated with a bluesy sound. In the G major scale, the notes are: G (the 1, or root), A (the 2nd), B (the 3rd), C (the 4th), D (the 5th), E (the 6th), and F# (the 7th), and then you are back to G again. The chords in example 1 are built on the 1st, 4th, and 5th notes of the scale, G, C, and D respectively. The chords are identified as being built on the 1, 4, or 5 with roman numerals I7, IV7, and V7, which also indicates that they are dominant 7th chords. Strum through the example using quarter notes as shown, or using 8th note rhythms. When strumming 8th note rhythms, try playing with both a straight 8th note feel and a swung 8th note, or shuffle feel. Check out the Part 2 12 bar blues chords guitar progression for an explanation of the shuffle feel. Here are all the chords used in this exercise:
