Keep your place through all 12 bars

Use the same key and tempo for several choruses before changing settings. This collection offers blues loops at 80, 100, and 120 BPM across twelve keys. Start at 80 BPM to hear the harmonic movement clearly, then increase the tempo when you can reach the turnaround without losing the form.

  1. Count three groups of four bars. Mark the start of each group with a root or a simple chord tone.
  2. Play a two-bar motif, then repeat it with one rhythmic change. Leave enough space to hear the accompaniment.
  3. Listen for the last four bars and make your next phrase resolve at the beginning of the new chorus. Then try the same exercise in a second key.

Try the blues in F at 80 BPM — Use a slower loop to practice three four-bar phrases and hear the return to the first chord.
