12 BAR BLUES in A - CHORDS
The 12 bar blues in the key of A utilises 3 chords; A, D and E7. This can also bel translated in musical terms as 1, 4, 5 as the root notes fall in that position on the scale of A Major. More about all that at level 2.
Watch out for the walk down (also known as the turn around) during the last bar.

12 Bar Blues - CAGE
The 12 bar blues in A also sounds great when the CAGE finger picking pattern is used along with the chords. All you need to do is repeat the pattern over and over and change chords at the right time. Look out for the walk down at the end where this time triplets are used to create a more unique blues sound. Have a go practicing along with the audio at 80BPM and 90BPM before attempting the video play along at 100BPM.
