@ebtent @ebtent @ebtent It may not seem like blues at first. That's because he did not use the blues scale: 1-b3-4-b5-5-b7-1. However, it is the BASICS for blues. In most blues songs, you start on the tonic, then change to subdominant, then back to tonic, then to dominant, then back to subdominant, then in the home chord of tonic.

e.g. in C+. Alternate P5 (C-G) and +6 (C-A) intervals each quarter, transposing using the pattern he showed you (1-4-1-5-4-1)...

if you play it faster it can be a 12 bar blues but in what key? a c?

[RobSchneeberger]

The seventh usually means the dominate seventh, in this case it would be Bb because we are in the key of C Major, but there is also major seventh and minor seventh which follow the same patterns respectively.
