Questions & AnswersWe've now gone over the basic chord progression of the blues and the roots, the main notes that are the basis in the key of F. I'm now going to build the chords above the roots. Let's look at the one chord. The one chord starts on F, because it is the first note in the key and has F as the root, A as the third and C as the fifth and E-flat as the dominant seven. This is a dominant seven because it's a flat seven or is a minor seven from the root. I will not play this chord in arpeggio and following that I will play the scale that comes from the F dominant chord. It's the F dominant scale. Here first is the chord played in arpeggio. This E-flat, the dominant seven really makes this a jazzy sound. No, I will play the F scale that goes along with the chord. That is the F dominant scale which can be used in playing over the F chord.
