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 Db7, 2 on Gb7, 2 on Db7, then the turnaround
  3. 3 Db major has 5 flats; if this feels unnatural, try thinking in C# major (7 sharps) or use relative minor (Bbm)

Suggested scales & modes
