Hey Barry,
Subscribed a few months back, love the site. I know you've done a coming the blues in Bb. Have you done a linear lesson on Bb blues? Couldn't seem to find one, only the one in F. Would love to see that!
Thanks
Darren

Darren, the key shouldn't matter. The concepts of these lessons are intended to be applied to all keys. The most tedious (but most rewarding) part of mastering this material is getting the 5 position study stuff down. Once you're there, moving from one key to the next becomes much easier.
You will learn that certain phrases will fit naturally in some positions under your fingers and more awkward in others. Barry points out that often it's every other position (1,3,5), (2,4) .
I will say there is much more to exploit on the Blues form (Barry - hint, hint .... )
Some of the older lessons got into different types of harmonization. But, honestly, you can apply the same concepts to the blues that you do everything else. Back Cycling, etc. (check out Blues for Alice for a cool approach to the blues form)
