HOW TO WORK OUT A 12 BAR BLUES IN ANY KEY
The most basic 12 bar Blues only uses three chords. For instance, in the key of C we use the chords C, F and G. If you go by the scale of C you will see that the three chords are built on the 1st, 4th and 5th notes of the scale (These chords are known as I, IV and V)
