Beginner Blues Groove in A-minor • Spice with up with these 2 notes

Get my 3-page PDF, watch my extended video with full tabs, and get my audio jam track @ *** Hey there, friends! Today we’ll be looking at a beginner-friendly blues lesson, where I’ll show how adding only 2 special notes can create a dark, bluesy vibe. We’ll be using the chords of Am, Dm, and E7 — all played in a typical 12-bar blues progression. This will set the stage, but the real magic will be the bass notes played between each chord (flat third and flat seventh) — which immediately dial up the bluesy vibe we’re looking for. The sequence I’ll teach is something you can play by yourself, involving bass notes strums very basic fills. In addition to my main tutorial, I’ve also included a separate video showing a slow playthrough with tabs on screen. A jam track is also included (audio file) if you’d like to practice & play along on your own. You also can download the jam track for offline practice. I hope you enjoy!
