Enjoy this portion of Lesson 21 with Intermediate Student Ryan Walker from BluesHarmonica.com. In this lesson I define what happens within the 12 Bar Blues Progression for bars 9 through 12. The licks played over Bars 9 and 10, resolving to Bar 11, are called V-IV-I Transition Licks. This is a common area of weakness for blues harmonica players, so spending time studying the chords and the killer licks used by master players really pays off. If you would like to learn more about improvising and accompaniment playing over the 12 Bar Blues, become a subscribed member of BluesHarmonica.com
