    JAZZ BLUES PROGRESSIONS IN ALL 12 KEYS http://www.wildestdreams.com/pages/guitar_lessons.

    html

    Explanation: The common 12 bar blues progression utilizes three phrases, each 4 measures in length. The phrase structure is A-A-B:
    Phrase 1: A "They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad"
    Phrase 2: A "Yeah, they call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad"
    Phrase 3: B "Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's oh so sad"

    Note the standard lyrical format: The first phrase is repeated and a third phrase functions as the "punch line".
    The chords used in the 3rd phrase of the standard "jazz" blues do not use the common V-IV-I harmonies found in "rock" or
    "blues" style blues tunes. Instead, the chord progession is based on I-VI-II-V root motion and usually utilizes a secondary
    dominant 7th chord in place of the VI chord. These changes provide expanded melodic possibilites for a jazz improviser.

    Directions: Write out the blues chord progression for each key. Each 4 bar phrase is separated by a ruled line.
