12 Bar Blues.

When you can't seem to progress, get back to the basics with a 12 bar blues to dust off your writers block. Here is a fun rock 'n' roll 12 bar blues track to play over. If you're interested, here is the form and the scales I used to play over these changes.

This was a fun exercise. If you're looking to dive into a clean, fresh, and productive practice sesh, I highly recommend recording your own blues track to play along with. Yeah, yeah, it's old and sometimes it sounds stale but this project forced me to see, play, and hear new ideas! Thanks for taking a listen, I really dig the old style rock and roll and I hope you do too! Peace and keep on truckin'.- Tony T.

I try to solo over A with the A Major Pentatonic scale:
Throw in the flat 7 (G) for tension... Play with the A minor Pentatonic if you are trying to get nasty...

1   2   3    5  6 
A- B-C#- E- F#

Over D, I use the A Minor Pentatonic Scale

1--flat3--4--5--flat7
A--C--D--E--G

Over the E, I try play around with the chord tones but I think the Flat 3 sounds cooler than the 2.. Basically just the blues scale (major and minor pentatonic suitable to your taste.

1--flat3--3--4--5--flat7
E--G--G#--A--B--D
