  Yeah, I chose not because chord changes here are quite fast and I didn't want to distract members.
  If you want to understand how progressions work, it's always better to see them on a sheet or on a screen in sequence, studying the relationship between chords.

Hey GMC! You know, there is some connection between blues and jazz music. So, I wrote this little solo to show an example of this connection. Check the video #2 to read and listen the theory behind this lesson. I hope you will be able to develop your own ideas after studying this solo.
