Last blog we learned the Blues Scale now lets learn some of the chords that go with the Blues Scale. Remember all examples are given in the key of C.
After you become familiar with the key of C you will want to transpose or move these chords to other keys.
(More on this later).
The most common chords that go with the C Blues scale are:
C7////F7////G7////. (The lines after each of the chords are called hash marks each hash mark represents one quarter note or strum).
This is often referred to a one, four, five - chord progression. In our music shorthand:
I, IV, V -
The reason we use shorthand is so one system is then used in all keys.
Now lets look at the notes to create each one of these chords.
C7 = R, 3rd, 5th, b7 note names C - E - G - Bb
F7 = R, 3rd, 5th, b7 note names F - A - C - Eb
G7 = R, 3rd, 5th, b7 notes names G - B - D - F
Learn these chords in all positions of the fretboard and keyboard.
More on the Blues Scale later!
Now transpose
these to each position (register) of your instrument, then to
all 15 keys.
