12 bar blues is something that any jazz musician can play, basically it is a real basic chord progression I-I-I-I-IV-IV-I-I-V-IV-I-I
we played it every day for about 15 minutes in my high school jazz band in a different key every day...... heard some awesome improv during those days.
While it is easy to switch keys on guitar, other intstruments make it a lot harder because it isn't just a different position, you have to know what notes are sharp and flat in that key.
I usually comp it with a 13th chord for the I and 9ths for the IV and V but you get bored and switch it up a little bit or put some chromatic stuff in there.
p.s. play each one for a measure/bar (4 times) and then switch to the next chord.
