Description
In this lesson, learn how to play a more interesting chord arrangement over a 12 bar blues jam track. This is similar to something the great Robben Ford would with a chord arrangement. Mixing jazz chords with blues chords makes being a rhythm player a lot more fun. 🙂

Excellent jazzy rendition that when smoothed out and slinky would definitely make Robben and Brian Setzer proud, Brian!! I especially love how you emphasize these chords substitute nicely from the basic shuffle plus…….this one even sounds cool on acoustic although it’s a bit tougher to play a couple of the chords!!

I like this a lot but some of this is complicated. Just from my point of view, it would be good to get some of this jazz grove but build from a simple style to something more complex. That being said, I love these lessons and being a premium member. I take individual lessons too and this compliments and increases what I am learning.
Interesting lesson. Different. Wasn’t sure I would like it, but the jazzy, blues chords are enjoyable. They remind me a bit of Duke Robillard whom I just recently saw at a blues club.
Another hit Brian, You are some guitarist my friend, on your A13 chord on the 5th fret with your pinkie on the 2nd string, for years now I thought that was an A6, maybe I am wrong, Thanks again for another brilliant lesson. Alex
For some reason I can’t dowload the MP3. I click the link and it opens the file in a new window. How can I save it to iTunes?
Just RIGHT click the “Download MP3” link and then choose to “Save As…” - you can then save the MP3 file wherever you want on your computer.
I feel like I say this every month, but this is my favorite lesson! Great job once again Brian. The hits just keep coming!
Brian, can you PLEASE add the chord names to the TABs? It would make them more useful on so many levels. Reading the TABs without chord names is tedious and it would also be a great way to LEARN the names of new chords. Please add them.
This is a fun lesson, well done Brain ty too
First, let me say that Brian helped me get signed up as a Premium member (I’m not very computer literate). I’ve been playing for many years but never had the opportunity to play blues. This one has been hit out of the ballpark. My band mates (of 50 years) are going to be impressed. Thank you Brian.
Top le cours, je le joue a present. Jadore, sur une tele avec ampli a lampes, ca donne bien. Merci
I love this! I have spent the last two weeks of playing time on nothing but getting it down. (Obsession? Yeah, guilty as charged, but well worth it.) I have made up an ending to it and now it’s a great stand-alone piece. Get’s a phenomenal reaction from listeners, as well. Previously I thought “jazz” guitar was something locked behind a secret iron door marked, “Do not enter,” reserved for such super-terrestrial beings as George Benson, Wes Montgomery and Duke Robillard. This is such a refreshing variant from the usual simplistic blues chording. It is impossible to play this without feeling cool. Thanks Brian for being able to break down and methodically teach something so skillfully that would have normally been out of reach for me. Thanks to Jim too, for suggesting this style. PS I think A6 and A13 are essentially the same chord, except the 13th is just the 6th one octave higher.
One of my favorites! I enjoy the challenge, which keeps me practicing.
Keep this jazzy stuff coming.
Part 2 video does not show therefore unable to download, despite repeated refreshing of the webpage,suggestions would be appreciated
Great lesson Brian!
I’ve been trying to break out of my 12 bar blues rut and have been trying to pick up a little jazz knowledge from the Mickey Baker book and other sources. I’ve really been into Robben Ford lately and have been trying to absorb as much of his style and technique as I can, so I was excited when I found this lesson. Well done and I’d love to see more lessons in this genre.
I’ve been hacking away off and on at the guitar for forty years and I’ve made more progress in the last year with your lessons than on everything else combined. You’re a great instructor. Thank you!
I have a great suggestion too ..because I like to help when I notice a good thing,, Brian, I wanted to let you know if you could do more Robben Ford and possibly this with the soundslice.. I’m doing this tonight 11/29/17 .. this is a great lesson but before you featured the soundslice.. it would be a good idea to do this with the soundslice if not possibly some part two Rbben Ford always a treat! thanks all the same!
Ep 031
When I go to the lesson there is no tab . Has it been eliminated or what . The lesson is great , but would be a lot better if I had a paper trail.
Found it.
Thanks
