The blues is the foundation of many styles of music from country to R&B. In its most basic form, it consists of three dominant 7th chords played in a 12-bar repeating progression. Nicholas Veinoglou demonstrates how to play these chords on the acoustic guitar, and takes us through the 12-bar blues form — while giving some helpful tips about style and strumming along the way.
