      Playing with four fingers to make the 7th chords, which are essential to the structure, but not easy for a 73 year old improver. Thanks for a very good tutorial. Geoff.

      @@rodneymanthengamanthenga7638 yes , repetition and repetition, combined with slow practice. A nice simple trick is to play the left hand on a loop for a few minutes and have a chat with someone at the same time. You are trying to install autopilot into the left hand.

    Hi Tom. Thanks for another video. Now ...challenging for me haha where do I start lol? Small hands with big 4 chord stretches, understanding which chords to use in the bass with differing major and minor scales and practicing inversions (my brain has to think on it feet). Some lessons on using major and minor pentatonics would be good all in one video if possible. But thanks again for a lovely lesson. 😊🎹🎵🎶

      Many thanks for your question. I used ChatGPT to translate your question into English. The answer to your question is that a 12-bar blues progression can be modified in numerous ways. For instance, the sequence 1 4 1 1 4 4 1 1 5 4 1 5 includes a "turnaround" 5 chord at the end to aid in the continuity of the music, and the use of the chord 4 in the second bar creates a bit more contrast. Here is another popular 12-bar blues progression found in jazz: 1 4 1 1 4 4♯dim 1 6 2 5 1 5. There are further variations, such as a minor 12-bar blues and a bebop 12-bar blues, as utilized in Charlie Parker's composition "Blues for Alice", which is even more complex. The fundamental rule is that there should be 12 bars, and the movement from the 5th to the 4th chord towards the end of the progression is also very important, although composers often enjoy experimenting with the formula. You might find it interesting to study pieces like "Freddie Freeloader" by Miles Davis, where he concludes the 12-bar blues progression with a ♭7 chord, or Wayne Shorter's "Footprints", which explores numerous advanced harmonic patterns within a 12-bar blues framework, but in 3/4 time! I hope this answer helps. I have also translated it into Korean, and I hope the translation is accurate. Sending many greetings from London; it's a pleasure to converse with you.
      Korean Translation:
      질문해 주셔서 감사합니다. 저는 ChatGPT를 사용하여 귀하의 질문을 영어로 번역했습니다. 귀하의 질문에 대한 답변은 12바 블루스 진행이 여러 가지 방법으로 수정될 수 있다는 것입니다. 예를 들어, 1 4 1 1 4 4 1 1 5 4 1 5 순서는 끝부분에 '턴어라운드' 5 코드가 있어 음악의 연속성을 돕고, 두 번째 마디에서 4 코드의 사용은 약간 더 대조를 만듭니다. 여기에는 재즈에서 인기 있는 또 다른 12바 블루스 진행이 있습니다: 1 4 1 1 4 4♯dim 1 6 2 5 1 5. 더 많은 변형이 있으며, 찰리 파커의 작곡 "블루스 포 앨리스"에서 사용된 마이너 12바 블루스와 비밥 12바 블루스가 있으며, 이것은 더 복잡합니다. 기본 규칙은 12바가 있어야 하며, 진행의 끝부분에서 5에서 4로의 이동도 매우 중요하지만, 작곡가들은 종종 공식을 실험하는 것을 즐깁니다. 당신은 마일스 데이비스의 "프레디 프리로더"와 같은 곡을 연구하는 것이 흥미롭게 느껴질 수 있는데, 그곳에서 그는 12바 블루스 진행을 ♭7 코드로 마무리했습니다, 또는 웨인 숏어의 "풋프린츠"는 3/4박자의 12바 블루스 구조 내에서 많은 고급 조화 패턴을 탐구합니다! 이 답변이 도움이 되기를 바라며, 한국어로도 번역했는데, 번역이 정확한지 바랍니다. 런던에서 많은 인사를 드리며, 귀하와 대화하는 것은 즐거움입니다.
