Today, we continue on with our blues rhythm playing studies and take a good close look at T-Bone Walker’s “Stormy Monday”.
This is one of those classic progressions that’ll undoubtedly get called up at any blues jam you go to.
Still in a 12 bar format, but with some elevated chord changes and a few jazzy touches, this flavour of the blues tastefully straddles that line between dirty and sophisticated and is bound to take your chord work to the next level!

Classy chord voicings, extensions, alterations, substitutions, movements and essential chordal riffs.. this video has something for all levels!

** The lesson materials include 4 pages worth of neatly typed up examples in TAB and Notation.. guitar pro and PDF formats! **
