I have a book on the 12 Bar Blues which focused on the Key of E. However one of my friends plays in the key of A.
I suppose with a 12 Bar you could play in any key but what are the most common keys for Blues/Early Rock and Roll ?
also any suggestions on transposing intros, turnarounds and outros in E so that I can use them in A.
or sources of blues in A riffology on the Net.
I IV V man. Dig out that circle of fifths and learn 'em all.
The five open positions are probably the ones you want to know, though.
I IV V
C F G
A D E
G C D
E A B
D G A
If you're going to playing with a jazz band (read: Horn Section), you'll want to be conversant with B-flat, E-flat, A-flat, and F (as roots) as well as the list above at least.
