Question- lesson 2 intro to 12 bar blues
Why does blues in A start with #2 on count and not #1? It’s in red on sheet.
Where does the turnaround come in? After A at (12) or E at (13)?
thanks

Measure 1 (or bar 1) is simply a reference showing all 3 chords to be used in the example progression. The practice tune actually starts at measure 2.
They happen to be on the same page, so the notation transcriber just made them part of the same overall measure counting.
Make sense?

Anders covers this explicitly 2 lessons ahead in that tutorial.
