![]() Most people have heard of the idea that there is a missing link between man and apes. The BLUES ARPEGGIO offers a solution to this massive hole in music education. There is no arpeggio that is taught academically that contains both Major + Minor, that is until now. There are many variations of this cadence, and may be V-IV-I or V-I or II-V-I, etc.For the student of improvisation the minor /major 3rd sound dichotomy is essential to know and love as it is arguably the most fundamental sound of Jazz and Blues. There is a cadence starting in measure 9 going from the Dominant (V) to the Subdominant (IV) finally to the Tonic (I) in measure 11. Therefore, the Tonic is F, the Dominant is C, and the subdominant is B-flat. In the example below, we use the F major key. The 9th measure begins a cadence progressing to the Toic (I chord) The 5th measure is typically the Subdominant (IV chord), or the chord based on the fourth step of the Tonic scaleģ. ![]() General elements of the 12-bar blues progressionĢ. The basic blues progression uses 3 chords - the tonic (I) or the chord that the song is centered on, the dominant (V) or the chord based on the fifth step of the Tonic scale, and the subdominant (IV) or the chord based on the fourth step of the Tonic scale. Countless jazz and popular songs have been composed within the structure of this series or progression of chords. This is one of the most well-known chord progressions in popular music of the 19th century.
