From Blues to Ragtime Chord Progressions - 8 and 12 Bars (Patreon)

Today we are going back, way back, back to the early 1900s from some Ragtime goodness, but instead of playing Scott Joplin or some classic rag I am going to show you how to turn a 12 bar and an 8 bar blues into ragtime progressions with that cool overlap time, from the 20s, when the blues as on its way in and musician like Scott were keeping people dancing all night long with their ragtime music. With a couple of easy changes you can get some fun ragtime based blues progressions that are great for improvisation and song writing as well, a great way to mix up your next jam, too!
