Here's a GREAT blues video on Youtube with Buddy Rich and Jimmy Bruno. Thought you may like it. This is a really swinging blues by a big band. Hope you enjoy it.

12 Bar Blues in C.

|C///|C///|C///|C///|

|F///|F///|C///|C///|

|Ab///|G///|C///|C///|

Keep repeating.

Jimmy is basically using the C minor pentatonic scale at the 8th fret where the C bar chord is found. He's chucking in some extra notes here and there.

Play along and have some fun.

These are two of my favorite guitarists. The interplay is real nice here in "The Thrill Is Gone". Very tasty indeed.

This is a 'minor' blues… my favorite… in the key of C minor. The chords are Cm, Fm, Abmaj7, G7.
