One of the many great things about learning to play blues is that most of the songs have the same chord progression. This progression is called "the 12 bar form" and in this chapter we'll break down the chords that are used in it and play through the form with a backing track, so you can hear how it sounds in a blues context. This chord progression also shows up in country, funk, rock 'n' roll, and many other styles, so by learning this single chord progression you literally learn thousands of songs.
Can I use my acoustic guitar for this course? Thank you.

Hello - thanks so much for your question! Yes, you can use your acoustic guitar for this course. You may find it a bit challenging with the Lead Guitar chapters, as bending on an acoustic guitar can be difficult at first. But certainly you can learn all about the 12 Bar Blues form, chords, and rhythms on your acoustic. When you are ready to jump into lead guitar, I recommend using an electric guitar at that point. Hope this helps!
