Bebop Blues Chord Changes to Play a Bass in F Major

RYAN LARSON: Now, we're going to go through and analyze the bebop blues. Why we use the bebop blues is because they throw in a lot of cool chord changes that all stay within the same major scale and it takes your regular three-chord blues and put all these different chords in there. So it' fun thing to run through and we'll start off with our F major, we start on I. we're actually going to play that as the 7th chord so we're going to have F7 and we go to B flat, right? Which is our IV, right? F, G, A, B, IV chord, and we go back to, I F7 and then we make a v minor to F7. so v minor to I7 and then we're going to go to IV7 again. So that's a ii-V into the IV and then we have our sharp iv which we still utilize the same scale we utilized the whole piece except now, instead of B flat, we're going to use B which is an inharmonic note but it will still work, and then we go back to our I chord and then we have iii-vi, right? A, D7, ii minor, V7, G minor, C, iii-VI, ii-V going back to I. so we're just using that seven-note scale and finding the different roots as we go through and we'll go through and walk through the whole piece and it starts right here I, IV--or I, IV, I, V-I, IV, sharp iv, I, iii-VI, ii, V, iii-VI, ii-V, I and that's the whole tune in roman numerals in the last so you can get it under your fingers.
