Description: I provide you with the 12 bar blues structure and encourage you to really get down the swing off-beats by using first of all the notes of the 7th chord in a fixed way, then play the notes of the chord when you want. Next, add the 2 and 6... then the b5 and b3. Rather than thinking in terms of scales, aim to highlight important notes. Finally, try playing with only the right hand since that swings too! It's not only the left!
