12-bar blues in any key — chords, scale, and turnarounds
Spice up the last 2 bars of your 12-bar progression
How to use this tool: Start with the standard 12-bar chart above. Play each chord as a dominant 7th (e.g., A7, D7, E7). Solo over the entire progression using the A blues scale — it works over all three chords.
The blue note (b5) is your secret weapon. Bend into it from the 4th, or slide down from the 5th. Use it as a passing tone, not a resting point.
