How to Play a 16 Bar Blues Progression on Guitar

Hi, I'm Rick Tobey on behalf of Expert Village. This is blues progression part three. This section we're going to learn a blues progression in a minor key. In this instance it would be an A minor. This would be a 16 bar blues progression. Previously we did some 12 bar blues progressions and in this instance, a 16 bar blues progression which means that each measure has 4 beats and each group of 4 beats which is known as a measure is also called a bar and it would be 16 bars. We are going to apply this and learn a song an old blues song called Tin Pan Alley. Then we'll also learn some specific blues rifts in the key of A that we would go along this kind of blues progression.
