Hello friends,
and welcome back to Swiftlessons for another rhythm guitar tutorial. In today's session I'll be showing you how to perform a standard 12 bar progression in a Jazz-Blues style. Together we'll review the basic blues version of the progression, before adding in jazzy voicings, passing chords, and substitutions. Let's get started!

Good Lord that was enlightening! Especially the turnaround ending on the 5+. It's astonishing, after teaching myself how to play Blues throughout the past 40 years, a born and bred Chicago boy like me should have my mind opened up to a whole new realm of tonal phrasing by being introduced to a relatively simple deviation from the standard Blues turnaround.
I've spent less than 20 minutes adapting my standard chops to fit what I've learned from this instructional video -- and I'm breezing along with eaze.
What a revelation.
Thank you. I really mean it in all sincerity. Thank you.
This class was incredible. More jazz blues, please.
Hey Juan, thanks, so glad you are enjoying this lesson. There's so much ground to cover here, so I guarantee a few follow up lessons. Be well and enjoy your progress! -Rob
This is really something special, Rob. Like others have said, playing the 12 bar blues can admittedly get a bit boring at times. This lesson shakes things up and reveals so many possibilities. Breaks us out of our ruts. Thank you and have a great weekend!
Rob, you are one of the most versatile Guitarist/teachers on the internet, really love your lessons!
Hi Rob thanks for a great lesson. A really good introduction to some more jazzy chord grips. Could you follow up with a lesson on how you would approach soloing over the chord progression? Scale choices etc. Thanks again
Great lesson. Great way to spice up a blues progression with some jazz chords. So easy and it sounds so cool
Brilliant, Bob. The way you teach this lesson, it’s not so great a quantum leap from basic blues.
Such good and well orchestrated lessons, super helpful with great accompaniment( no pun intended, just excellent examples and guide information). A big thanks Swifty.
Outstanding! Adding some basic jazz chords to the blues really gives it some sophistication in terms of kicking it up a notch. Thank you for taking the time in doing this lesson. Very much appreciated!
Absolutely Steve, especially placing the minor II chord in front of the V chord in measure nine. It's great if you can add a little walk up between those chords. I'll be sure to demonstrate in my next video.
@@swiftlessons Excellent. Got it. Thank you Rob!
Made the progression so much more interesting.....definitely worth learning.
After playing blues and rock for so long it's good to be introduced ro something else. Brings new ideas and definitely helps to get out of a rut. Thanks dude.
I agree, it's so easy to get trapped in a loop of playing the same progressions and licks. This progression really forces you to diversify your lead techniques too, so I'll be sure to teach some lead concepts as well.
I'll be looking forward to future lessons. You have made me a better musician and i appreciate it.
Thank you. This is just what I was looking for.
Exactly what I was looking for when I searched "jazz blues guitar progression". Excellent video. Subscribed.
Quelle belle leçon de guitare ! Merci beaucoup
I never took that long to learn a new chord progression HAHAHA
I feel pleased to challenge myself into jazz music
You may play a mean guitar, but you are also a badass instructor!
my favorite: 2:02
This is a great way to help us learn Jazz chords in the correct progressions. THANK YOU
Anyone have some tips to maybe do a few licks with this progression? What would you use, Arpeggios maybe???
I was looking for a suitable 12-bar jazz/blues progression for a Coltrane turnaround that I learnt. This is perfect for it. Fantastic lesson as always. Thank you!
Just a suggestion: when you're about to start a lesson on something, play through it first, then introduce yourself and start talking about it. This primes the viewer on what they're about to learn rather than starting out by talking about it and playing it in fragmented chunks first.
diesel828 yes, thank you!
He does that on almost every other video
I prefer this way, its cuts all the BS
@@Arthur_My_Dear It's not about learning style, it's about formatting content--whether you're writing an article or making a TH-cam video. Hook the reader/viewer first before getting into details.
@@Arthur_My_Dear No one cares about YOU or what YOU'RE looking for. I'm giving the video creator advice for being more successful with the GENERAL PUBLIC of viewers.
Great. I'm a tenor sax player and I found this really useful. A really good change from the 'Blues' scale. Cheers.
Fantastic material excellently explained. As always!!! And on a gorgeous guitar!!!! Cheers - a great help to my playing.
Hey Graham, thanks for taking the time to leave some positive feedback, so glad you're digging this video. That's my counterfeit Gibson ES 335, built by some top notch luthiers up in New England. It's amazing!
Thank you for your class. May I suggest that when you do the playthrough part, you keep the beat so it's easier to follow along. Thanks!
Clear , easy.. amazing and ... beautiful... let’s play jazzy
Thanks for the positive feedback Tito, I'll do a follow up on how to add a bit of rhythm to this technique. Keep an eye out!
swiftlessons my looper is exploding 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@titozanella7704 Ah, great way to practice. Maybe I'll tie that into my follow up lesson on playing lead over this progression.
Great lesson, love the chord comparison to standard chords, gives it such logic, learnt so much here, thanks
I love this stuff
Thank you! Is there a video for soloing over this progression? Very good lesson and walkthrough.
Thanks man. Awesome tutorial
Thanks!
Beautiful! I'm working on the barre chords...I'm never bored (let's face it I struggle). Progression is a goal. Might take time (I started late...) but there's always some gratification! Cheers Rob and Thank you for the sharing!
Always a pleasure Nicole! The main ingredient is consistency, keep practicing in a slow and methodical fashion and you'll be amazed by how far you come in the next few months. Reach out anytime if you have questions. -Rob
swiftlessons That's very true! I've followed that route. It works and it's a pleasure too! Take care 🤗
Loo
Awesome lesson for a jazz noob such as myself, thx!
Brotherman! I don't know how you don't have more views than martyshwartz or whatever, you are fantastic at teaching guitar! Helped me get through recovering from being blown up in Iraq with your Dave Van Ronk tunes. Been years but I popped on to learn Across The Universe and remembered you. Keep it up broman, you are awesome. Gonna start pushing your name to everyone I can lol.
Excellent, thank you straight to the point without the talk and silly jokes. I cannot thank you enough
Excellent lesson. Very clearly put across. Thanks.
Great lesson,thank you!
Yeah... Lots of fun with that one... Thanks!
I didnt speak english so well, but u help me a lot, thx!!! Greetings from Brazil
Thank-you so much that was a great lesson. One question: if the b7 is in the A7 and the 13 is included, isn't it just a A13 not an add 13?
Yes
Good lesson!
I love this tutorial! so cool! Thank you!
Thank you! Have a great weekend of practice, and I'll get started on the follow up!

That was great, thanks so much.
¡Gracias!
Hey thank you so much for your generosity!
This is great man! I just found your channel while looking to jazz up my covid time blues
Hi Rob, what scales would suit this chord progresión? Thanks for a great lesson.
You wanna think more chord tones and try to play over the changes! Not necessarily one scale over the whole thing
aint about scales homie.
Very nice variation to the ole blues progression. Your guitar has a great sound: what pickups ? Cheers
Have you had an earvana nut installed in this guitar? How do you like it?
Jazz guitarist's: nice progressions
Indie artists: we got a hit bois
Sos un genio!!!!, excelente maestro y motivador!!!!!, te sigo desde Sudamerica , un abrazo, que sigas super ok

Thanks Tom, enjoy your practice! -Rob
Great!. I am wondering if you can provide guitar lesson for White Wedding by Billy Idol, there is a acoustic cover by Steve Stevens and Billy Idol in youtube which I really wish I could learn.
It's been on my list for a while, but still recommend you submit that tune via my website at Swiftguitar.com/request. Thanks, great suggestion!
@@swiftlessons thanks and done
best guitar
Thanks for putting out a great lesson!
Great lesson, brings me one step further, thanks!
Do you have any lessons on how to solo over this?
Can you also do a jazz guitar song lesson please
thank you, this is very useful
always success🙏
Great lesson!! Super helpful!
Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Much appreciated, good luck with your channel!
swiftlessons Thanks man!
Always like your content just wanted to know what version of the 335 is that?????
hey man just a suggestion maybe you can just count it slowly... good stuff anyway!!
Thank you.
Thank you for this lesson. Others have mentioned the guitar as well. What did your luthier set you up with--you mention below? Sounds great.
what scale to use for improv over the chords
nice
Buenas... una pregunta... hay una canción de "Stray Cats" que se llama "Nine Lives" Usa una progresión de i iv v Pero el primer grado es menor, osea (Cm/G7/F7) Como busco un backingtrack así? No se ni que genero es porque tiene blues, jazz pero no encuentro, también después del F7 hace F#Dim/G#Dim...
1:00 better call saul :)

Your guitar is beautiful. What kind is it?
Can you do more electric guitar song lessons please
this is great . need to transpose to key of E
Cliffs of Dover?
I can memorize the progression and the chord "shapes" are easy, but I have no idea why something is a 13th, or diminished, or augmented. In other words, I can't read and have no idea what the math is that is, of course, the baseline determinant of theory. I don't know hoe to use intervals in any intelligent way, I can really even define what an interval is. I know some basic positions on the neck, but have to count frets to see where a given note is. I know about triads, and have memorized how to make a maj, minor, 5th, 7th and 9th, but move through those changes with a brain damaged slowness. I have been playing over 40 years and have learned a lot of tricks, and have taught myself how to play any of the above mentioned triads in 5 places on the neck for any chord. But it does not come as naturally as speaking, and I don't think I will ever have the fluency that goes with mastery. Luckily I have a good ear which helps with single note phrasing, but the art of beautiful
chord progressions, and all the infinite subtleties and possibilities, I'll have to reserve for another lifetime. I know some people who know a lot of scales and theory that can't improvise and just sound mechanical, like a cheap player piano, and I just try to sound good but don't have the intellectual basis. This can be incredibly frustrating. Rhythm guitar in many ways is a lot more complex then so called "lead" soloing. Oh well.
and the full song?
Glad to see you're doing more electric guitar. I unsubscribed a while back because you were doing too much acoustic guitar stuff for my taste.
