What approaches do you like for playing over the (major) Blues changes ? I mean the most simple 12 bar form such as:
C7/C7/C7/C7
F7/F7/C7/C7
G7/F7/C7/C7
For example:
What works for you ?

C7/C7/C7/C7
F7/F7/C7/C7
G7/F7/C7/C7
For example:
- Playing the minor blues scale of the key over the whole thing (C-Eb-F-F#-G-Bb)
- Emphasising chord tones for each chord (C-E-G-Bb for the I7, F-A-C-Eb for the IV7 and G-B-D-F for the V7)
- Playing pentatonics for each chord
- Playing with a dominant sound over the I, minor sound for the IV and major sound for the V (e.g. C7, Cmin7 and Cmaj7 respectively for the I, IV and V)
- Playing riffs or motifs
What works for you ?
