Blues schema 8 takte

Here I'm playing E7...

Of course, you can also use open chords if they fit within the key (e.g. 2111144115411Var. When you hear musicians say "take it home!", they're talking about resolving to the 1 chord.

For example, in the key of G major, G major would be our 1 chord.

In the key of G minor, G minor would be our 1 chord.

Bluesschema in E-Dur:

Mit dieser Formel kannst du den Blues in jeder Tonart spielen.

Each hit of the symbol represents a count. These numbers represent a relationship of chord degrees that reside in a given key.

The 1 chord, also known as the tonic, is typically the first chord in a progression and tells us the key we're playing in. But there are consistencies such as the 1 chord on the first, third and fourth bars, and the 4 chord on the fifth and sixth bars.

The 5 chord only comes in during the last four bars.

Blues influenced many derivative styles, but many stay true to the 12-bar form.

The "Turnaround"

The last two bars typically contain what is often referred to as the "turnaround".

But underpinning it all are those three simple chords: 1, 4, 5.

Master this relationship, and you'll be able to back up virtually any blues jam in any key.

When this is the case, the chord change will occur on the third count, in the middle of the four count bar. Often blues will be slowed riiiiight down, such as this 8-bar example...

Blues can have more of a mellow groove.

A-Dur Tonleiter:

Die Tonleiter A-Dur besteht also aus den 7 oben genannten Akkorden.

Es sind die Stufen I, IV und V. A major)...

Then, up to the 4 chord, building another typical chord shape on that root position (D7)...

And finally, the 5 chord, again using our relationships from earlier. 415441515Var.

Der Riff in der Bluesform:

Für interessante Fills beim Blues Gitarre lernen, nutzen wir die Em Pentatonik:

Der fertige Blues für Gitarre Anfänger:

Wenn du die 8-taktige Bluesform, ein einfaches Blues-Rock-Riff und die Pentatonik beherrschst, hast du bereits ein solides Fundament gelegt.

Remember also, for heavier blues styles, power chords are often used in place of full blown 7th chords.

Minor Key Blues

Minor key blues uses exactly the same 1 4 5 root relationship from earlier, but with minor chords instead of major/dominant 7th. 41111441154545411Var.

That means the first chord (the tonic or 1) in the progression is either a major chord or a dominant 7th chord (which is a major chord with an additional tone).

You can learn all about the chord types used in blues in a separate lesson. Take a listen to this "rock and roll" 12-bar example which involves a stop-start section at the start of some of the 12 bars...

And a minor key 12 bar blues track.

Eb7 to Edim7). We just position it at the appropriate fret for the key we're playing in.

The easiest way to visualise 1 4 5 is to first identify the root/bass notes of each chord on the 6th and 5th strings...

6th String Tonic/1

5th String Tonic/1

Tip: The 5 chord root is always one whole step, or two frets up from the 4 chord root!

Remember, that root note formation is movable depending on the key in which you're playing.

So if you were playing in the key of A major, simply position the 1 chord root on the note A (e.g.
