12 Bar Blues guitar tab sheet music showing bass lines and a simple melody, free! Your beginner guitar players will have fun with these.
Twelve measures (or bars) using the I, IV, and V chords of whichever key you happen to be playing in. That's all. The most common pattern, probably, is the one I have below:
That can be a whole note, quarter notes like I have on the tablature below, or any combination that adds up to 4 beats.
Bar Blues Chord Progressions: No V7 In 12th Bar Type Ii(dominant 7 & Minor) By Jay Skyler
It's important to keep in mind that this chord progression is a USUAL progression for the twelve bar blues - but not the only one! Keep reading down the page, and I'll explain a bit more...
What you're looking at, above, is a line that a bass guitar might play. (Very basic; each note is the root of the chord only, nothing fancy.)
In the key of E, which is the key I've chosen to base these 12 bar blues guitar tab sheets on, the main chord (called the I chord) is E.
Essential Blues Lessons Part 1: The 12 Bar Blues
Count up to the 4th step of the E scale, and there is the IV chord, A -- music theory uses Roman numerals to name the chords.
Walk up one more step to the B right above A, and you have the foundation of the B chord, the V chord.

It's really more like a duplication of the bass part's notes, up high, but with an important difference - you are going to use these simple notes to practice slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and even bends or vibrato (if your student's guitar strings are soft enough).
The next three beginner guitar tab sheets are DUETS, including both melodies and bass lines - both students read off the same sheet:
We're talking BEGINNERS here, so we do what is comfortable at first. I like to pluck the power chords and boogie chords with my thumb and index.
Improve Your 12 Bar Blues Comping
You Can Teach Yourself Rock Guitar , a Mel Bay book, has a lot of great ideas like these 12-bar-blues, but they use standard notation, not tab.
I like the tablature better for my barely-reading-notes-yet guitar students, because as easy as these patterns are to play, they are rather exotic and difficult to read when presented as notes on the staff!
Other keys (tonalities, with different chords) can easily be used for the 12 bar blues, and other arrangements of the I, IV, and V chords.
Bar Blues Guitar Tabs For Beginners
The key of A would use chords A, D, and E (or E7) for the I, IV, and V chords; in the key of D the three chords would be D, G, and A.
