Push "play" on the slider bar below to hear this set being played.

Here is a library of VARIATIONs for "The Blues" changes.

For the rest of this lesson, take some time to go to each variation above and practice playing along with the changes. If you need to construct a new melody to improvise along with the chords, you can use the same method that you learned in Lesson Number 7. We will be building on Lesson Number 7 in the next lesson. See you there!

One more thing!

Over the next week, go back through 3 of the "VARIATIONs" and in your music workbook construct a set of "Blues" changes for each of your 3 choices using a new root note. May I suggest using F, A, E, A flat, B flat, or D flat?
