This 12 bar blues solo will have a very basic separate bass and melody line. It’s just a straight quarter note bass line (sometimes referred to as “dead thumb”) with a two note, repetitious, quarter note lead line. The purpose of this solo is to get a feel for for playing independent lines with thumb and fingers. This might be too easy for some folks and challenging for others.
