The Chords of Boogie Blues
The chords of boogie blues progressions are generally built with seventh chords. A seventh chord is simply a chord that includes the seventh note of the scale in addition to the root, third, and fifth notes. For example, in the key of C, the root, third, and fifth notes are C, E, and G. The seventh note of the C major scale is B. So a C7 chord would be built with the notes C, E, G, and B.
The most common type of seventh chord used in boogie blues is the dominant seventh chord. A dominant seventh chord is built by taking the root, third, fifth, and flat seventh notes of a scale. In the key of C, this would be C, E, G, and Bb. You’ll often see dominant seventh chords written as simply “7” or “5”. So a C7 chord could also be written as an E7 or a G7 chord.
Boogie blues progressions typically involve a lot of movement between different chords. Seventh chords create a lot of tension that needs to be resolved by moving to another chord. The most common resolution for a Seventh chord is to move up a fourth to the root chord of the next key. So in our example above, if we were playing a C7 progression in the key of C, we would resolve it by moving to an F chord. This is why you’ll often see boogie blues progressions written in terms of fourths: I-IV-VII-III-VI-II-V
