You now know how to build:
-minor thirds
-major thirds
-perfect fifths
-major chords
-minor chords
-seventh chords
I bet you never thought you’d be able to learn this much in a few days, huh?
We will put some of these chords to work in this lesson! You will need:

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 + Bb
F7 = F + A + C + Eb
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
-The 300-pg course explains the blues chord progression in depth. It also covers several other blues, gospel, and jazz chord progressions.
