INTRO TO THE 12 BAR FORM

Just started the introduction to the Blues section with the intro to the 12 Bar Form. I never really had an interest in playing blues but really enjoyed the 'bluesy chords' lesson in Fundamentals 2, presented by Anders, so thought I'd give it a go. I absolutely enjoyed the sound so had a look at the Blues style level 1.  Then thought I should practice a song (as Anders said) and I am currently learning Sweet Home Chicago with Caren Armstrong. For some reason I thought the Blues, country, rock and acoustic style sections were beyond me at thi stage, but they are not. There is so much to learn in Fundamentals 1 and 2 and I felt like I was never going to get to these other sections. However when I did, it was like opening a door to discovering different styles with achievable introductory lessons. I wish I had had a look earlier. Thank you Guitar Tricks!

Hello, Started exploring the Blues section after enjoying the 'bluesy chords' lesson. Initially believed Blues, country, rock, and acoustic were advanced, but found introductory lessons manageable and enriching. Currently learning "Sweet Home Chicago." Grateful to Guitar Tricks for expanding horizons.
