DescriptionThis is the seventh lesson of Duke Robillard's Swingin' the Blues series of guitar lessons. The goal for this series is to transition a player familiar with standard 12 bar blues to more melodic and complex jazzy blues / swing playing. The series first focuses on jazzy blues and swing rhythm guitar to lay a solid foundation and then teaches passing chords, comping, riffing, double stops and lead guitar. The series ends by putting all of the new knowledge to practice in three songs: Swingin' with Lucy Mae, Lester Leaps In and Moten Swing.

Lesson 9 is  focused on learning the rhythm part to Lester Leaps In.  In this lesson, Duke discusses the following topics:

• General overview of rhythm guitar in jazzy blues / swing guitar
• A detailed walk-through of the 32 bar form
  
• Substitutions and variations of the 32 bar form
  
• How chord substitutions fit within the framework of the song and soloing
