Rhythm tracks recorded in a 12 bar blues progression in the same key.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReasons for practicing in all 12 keys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOften a singer cannot reach certain notes in the key that you have learned the song in, therefore you will probably be asked to change the key of the song which you can do with confidence knowing all 12 keys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving the knowledge of playing in all 12 keys, it will then become easier to learn new songs, whatever key they are in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlues often use the keys of C, F, G, Bb, Eb, Guitar music often uses the keys of E, A, D, by learning as many keys as possible will enable you to adapt to the musical situation you are playing in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking riffs, chord progressions etc. through all 12 keys is a great ear training tool relying on your ears to play in keys that you are not used to before the muscle memory sets in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePracticing in all 12 keys is a great exercise for the brain, it is obviously hard work but the more you do it the benefits will become apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy practicing in all 12 keys you will start to see various musical patterns evolve that will help you speed up the process of learning music. It is my hope that as you practice playing in the various keys you will eventually not need the music and be able to transpose in your head.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew D.
