Chord Changes in a C Major Blues Scale

The blues form in the 12 bars in the key of C looks something like this when written out in notation. Going over starting with the routes of the chords to go through the blues we have C in the base which is one, we move four on the top which is the four we go back to the one and repeat the one again. This is the four bars the second four bars starts on the four chord. We have the four in the bass it moves to the next four chord, we have the four in the bass and then moves down to the one. With back to one on the bass going to the fifth we drop down to G which is the fifth of C and then we go back to four. I went up an octave this can also be down as well F and then going back to one C, twice this is the C of blues the basic notes in the chords.
