The Blues

A Feeling, A Scale, A Progression

A Blues Scale

In the Key of C the C Blues Scale is: C Eb F G Bb C' ( 1 b3 4 5 b7 8 of the C Major scale )

A Blues Progression?

The most common form of a blues chord progression is twelve measures in length containing three four measure sections using the primary chords of a key. The primary chords of a major or minor key are the I , IV , and V chords.

While other measure lengths are possible, such as eight and sixteen measures, the twelve measure form is the most common.

A Feeling

A song can be blues simple in its performance and how the performing artists interprets it.
