I love playing over Blues and other backing tracks. I decided to create the backing track video first as a great practice resource for anyone including myself. I then created this video where i'm breaking down the chords and chord progression and teaching a solo and improvising lesson on scale strategies to use over each chord that worked the best for me. This is a 12 Bar Blues track. Each chord represents 1 Bar:
Am - Am - Am - Am
Dm - Dm - Am - Am
Em - Dm - Am - E7
This is a Blues track in the key of Am so it would require a little different scale and note strategies than the 12 Bar Blues that is made up of all 7th chords like A7 - D7 - E7. That will be for another video.
Have fun jamming to this track!!
This backing track is my creation. I played the guitar and bass. However, I did use the drum loop from the following video by Talent Progression UA-cam channel:
