Solo with the A Blues Scale
The ringed note is the root, A. Tap any note to hear it.
Playing along on Bluetooth headphones? They delay every sound by about 150–250 ms, so taps land late against the band. Wired headphones or speakers keep them in time.

About This Blues Jam Track in A
A 12-bar blues in A using the quick-change form: A7 – D7 – A7 – A7 | D7 – D7 – A7 – A7 | E7 – D7 – A7 – E7. The drums play a triplet shuffle and the bass walks the boogie pattern under every chord, all on one clock, so you can lock in for as long as you like.

Frequently Asked Questions
Three dominant 7th chords: A7 (the I), D7 (the IV) and E7 (the V). This track plays the quick-change 12-bar — A7, D7, A7, A7, D7, D7, A7, A7, E7, D7, A7, E7 — which goes to D7 in bar 2 and ends on E7 to turn the form around.
The A blues scale (A, C, D, E♭, E, G) — the A minor pentatonic plus its flat 5. In A the classic box is at the 5th fret, with the root under your first finger on the low E string. Mix in the A major pentatonic for a sweeter, country-blues sound.
A 12-bar repeating form built on the I, IV and V chords. Each chorus is 12 bars long; most blues songs and jam sessions play it over and over while players take turns soloing. The last bar (the turnaround, here E7) pulls back to the top.
It starts at 85 BPM, a medium shuffle, and goes anywhere from 40 to 240 BPM. Slow blues sits around 60–70; Texas shuffles push past 120.
