You now know how to build:

-minor thirds
-major thirds
-perfect fifths
-major chords
-minor chords
-seventh chords

Chords used in this progression: (you will need to know these chords)

-C7
-F7
-G7

You already know how to build a C7 chord

Use the same method to learn an F7 and G7 chord.

------------------------------------------------------
REMEMBER: Major third + perfect fifth + minor third
------------------------------------------------------

Here's another way to figure out seventh chords

1) Start from the root note of the chord you want to play. That is (F) or (G) ...

2) Add a major third (4 half steps)

3) Then add a minor third (which is the same as a perfect fifth from the root)

4) Then add another minor third

Seventh Chord = major third + minor third + minor third

Or...

Major third (combined with perfect fifth) + minor third

REFERENCE:

I might as well just tell you what the F7 and G7 chords are (but do yourself a favor and learn the rest of them either by purchasing our course or by visiting our site).

C7 = C + E + G + B^b

F7 = F + A + C + E^b

G7 = G + B + D + F

BLUES CHORD PROGRESSION
----------------------------

A "chord progression" is a series of chords played one after the other.

A "Blues chord progression" is usually 12 bars long.

In this progression, a bar equals 4 beats. Clapping your hands 4 times (in a rhythmical beat) equals 1 bar. Thus, 12 bars equal 48 beats.

Note: Each bar begins at 1 again. That is, "1-2-3-4" --- "1-2-3-4" as opposed to "1-2-3-4 ---- 5-6-7-8"

How to read the e-mail blues chart below:

1) The chord is listed first; the beat numbers are listed below the chord names.

2) Play the chord for the given amount of beats listed (the bar # is also listed)

For example,

C7
(1-2-3-4)
Bar 1

This means that you will play a C7 chord for (4 beats).

So... you will play a C7 Chord while counting to 4
