So tune up, and let’s dive into this 12 bar blues guitar lesson!
What are the 3 chords used in the 12 bar blues?
For this lesson, we will be looking at a 12 bar blues in the key of A major.
Now typically a blues in the key of A is going to use 3 primary chords: A, D, and E.
These chords are often referred to using Roman numerals in the context of music theory, with A as the I chord, D as the IV chord, and E as the V chord.
From there we will turn each of these chords into dominant seventh chords.
So this means we’ll simply add the number 7 after the letter name.
So A becomes A7.
This chord is often just referred to as A7. But the full name for it is “A dominant seven”.
In music theory terms A7 is a four-note chord. It’s built of a root note, a major third, a perfect fifth, and a minor seventh.
So here are the 3 blues chords I would play in a 12 bar blues in the key of A major.
