X-Block Blues Practice

Here are the audio soundtracks for each part of each X-block group’s blues song so far. Use this to play along to so that you know you have the right rhythm and speed – make sure you’re listening to the right group!

E1 Blues guitar riff: 

 

E1 Blues piano part:

 

E2 Blues guitar riff: 

 

E2 Blues piano 12 bar blues: 

 

E2 Blues voice part: 

 

E3 12 bar blues piano: 

 

If your group is playing the ‘coffee’ rhythm, make sure it fits in with the soundtrack. The ‘coff’ part should fall on each beat of the bar (1,2,3,4).

Likewise if you are playing the ‘ten-to-ten-to’ rhythm – however – here the ‘ten’ should fall on each beat of the bar (1,2,3,4).

See below for the 12 bar blues and help with the rhythm.
