One of the things that’s foundational about blues harmony is that you’ll often hear a major chord swapped out for a minor one. No pun intended, but it’s a major component in the thing people often call the blues scale. And while the blues scale is a great runway to get blues onto your fingers, it neglects to include the third of the chord.
This E, and that’s what we’re here to talk about. Because when this C7 chord turns into an F7, this E turns into an E-flat. And if you’ve been playing blues for a while, this.
This C chord is going to flip back and forth between C and C minor. And it’s going to be really, really satisfying. It’s another one of those big kitchen questions.
Is the blues in major or is it in minor? The answer is yes. And you can show that with someone who belongs in a big kitchen place.
