Jazz Blues Progression by Velvet Roger "Today, we are going to explore a Jazz Blues progression, which is somewhat different compared to the standard I – IV – V 12 bar blues progression you all probably know. The lesson is primarily aimed towards those who would like to gain knowledge on the following aspects: - Advanced chords & use of tensions - Blues progressions" Four Bar Phrasing by Matt23 "Phrasing is what gives music a structure, and what stops it from being random melodies put together. If you compare music to writing, then notes are words, and licks are sentences. If you just put random licks together then it's the same as putting random sentences together; it doesn't make sense. Phrasing is being able to put licks together that do make sense, and relate to each other." Dark Light Soloing by Caelumamittendum "This is a lesson based on the solo I did for the "Dark Light" collaboration by Nemanja. I thought I would make a lesson out of it. As you might have read in the collaboration thread, it is in the key of Cm. I use both the C blues scale, the C minor scale and the C harmonic minor."
