Minor Blues

Minor Blues

Minor blues has a structure similar to major blues, mainly using four chords: i iv v V

The first form is much like the major 12-bar, except that it turns to minor chords. What is particular is the shift to a major dominant chord (V7) in bar 12.

The second form is much like the first; the small change is that the chords in bars 9-10 become VI7 – V7.
