Camper Star Wow - very kind! Scott.

Superb. I'm 62, out of bass playing for over 10 years. I was just invited by some workmates to jam once a week on some blues to get us all warmed up and locked in. I'll be watching this a lot and it proves that blues and my beloved slap can work together. Thank you. Oh, and harmonics? Yes please!

Been Playing the Blues in all its forms since 1956. You did a great job of teaching the real basis for the Blues and I learned a bit as well. So hats off to you me Boyo

Geat lesson Scott. I like the step-by-step process, modular break down of this lessons. Thanks.

Great! At last I find someone who realizes the word Beginner. The simple approach where the viewer can see the fingers and are also told what fret. It's the old Crawl, Walk, Run, system that a beginner needs. And the PDF was great also. Thank you.

My favorite blues bassist is the guy who played with Junior Wells and Buddy Guy back in the 60s. Can't think of his name. He was strong and basic but did some cool stuff too.

Hi Scott, still loving the bass that you sold to me! I have a nice full-scale length bass, too, but I play yours most often. Love it! Alex

I learned the 12 bar sequence many years ago in the 1970s but it was taught differently. I learned it as 4 bars of the 1 chord, 2 bars of the 4 chord, 2 bars of the 1 chord, one bar of the 5 chord, 1 bar of the 4 chord, one bar of the 1 chord and 1 bar of the 5 chord.or, 4x1 2x4 2x1 1x5 1x4 1x1 1x5 and repeat.

I have heard that called 12 bar blues with a "quick IV". The most basic 12 bar says on the I chord for 4 bars without the quick IV.

@DonDeering

I've heard it called "long" with 4 bars on the I, and "short" with 1 on the I and 1 on the IV.

@DEMcouver

KirkDickinson the most basic 12 bar blues doesn't come down from the V to the IV on bar 10 and doesn't have a turnaround on bar 12. This form is used generally because it has stronger mnemonic value.

Yes - all the ones listed will come through your amp along with your bass (bass into input of the Zoom/Korg, then output of the Zoom/Korg into your amp). Also you can run any of them into headphones for quiet late night practice! :)
