How to practice

  1. 1 The blues scale works over all three chords - start there and stay comfortable
  2. 2 Learn the 12-bar form: 4 bars on B7, 2 on E7, 2 on B7, then the turnaround
  3. 3 B major is uncommon in jazz practice-consider transposing to a more idiomatic key if this key feels unnatural

Suggested scales & modes

  • B Blues scale
  • B minor pentatonic
