Hmm..

Writing the chord symbols for a 12 bar blues progression. I may be missing something, and I don't mean any disrespect, but does that constitue a lesson these days?

Man,
work in a music school and you would see how many "basic"/"simple" stuff needs to be written/explain down!

+1. Specially teaching double bass, I notice how things that are so natural for me now like instrument positioning, picking the bow or playing a Bb scale in half position may be extremely difficult for a beginner. BTW, nice job, Workingbass!

It hard to write it too "basic" for old newbies like me.

Thanks!

When I first learned 12 bar blues and 12 bar jazz blues, you bet your butt my teacher wrote it out for me. He did one in the key of C major (of course ) and my assignment was to be able to play 12 bar blues/jazz blues in every key. I still needed a starting point though so I could grok how it all worked.

Me and my guitarist were jamming to an old 12 bar blues style progression we had ages ago when we were in school

Good times, the bass runs and guitar solos you can work off them are ace (and sound harder than they are )
