Whenever I'm jamming with this one dude, he always insists on playing minor blues. I dislike it. I'm not exactly sure which chords should be played, and you just can't that that minor scale over major chord effect. Anyway, I was wondering which chords are used in minor blues, say in Bm? Thanks for your time
If hes using the blues scale: Minors, Minor 7ths, Minor 9ths, Dominant 7ths and Dominant 9th chords.
If hes using the minor pentatonic scale: Minors, Minor 7ths and Dominant 7th chords.
Thats about all the chords you can use in the minor blues.
At this time I would like to tell you that NO MATTER WHAT...IT IS WITH GOD. HE IS GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL. HIS WAY IS IN LOVE, THROUGH WHICH WE ALL ARE. IT IS TRULY -- A LOVE SUPREME --. John Coltrane
Whether Major or minor you are going to use a basic I, IV, V progression. So, if Bm is your I, then Em would be your IV, and F# or F#7 depending on sound you want would be your V chord. Some songs might use F#m or F#7m as the V chord.
So basic progression would go like this:
Bm for 4 bars, Em for 2 bars, Bm for 2 bars, F# or F#7 for 2 bars and Em for 2 bars
Hope that helps
