What is playing jazz on a blues and what is playing blues on blues?Blues is mostly one of the first things we get into playing when playing an instrument.
It is quite easy to use a simple pentatonic scale and get around in a 12 bar blues form. 

When we get a bit further in our development as a player we start looking at the chord changes more deeply.
Where in the form do we play blues and where can we play jazz – is there a difference?
I say yes – there is a clear difference.
