- The last two bars of a jazz blues progression is a condensed version of the previous four bars. Starting in bar seven you have I7-VI7b9-iim7-V7 one bar each. Then, in the last two bars you have the same chord progression but this time each chord gets two beats, or half a bar, each.

- I – IV – V. Think of the I, IV, and V chords as the fodder that fuels most blues chord progressions. They are by far the most important chords in this genre, with 8-, 12-, 16- and 24-bar long progressions built around them.

- In the following example, we will insert our first secondary dominant chords. A secondary dominant chord is the dominant chord (V) of a diatonic chord other than the I.
- In this example, we will add a turnaround progression in the second bar. A turnaround is a series of chords that takes the listener from one chord (Cm7 in this case), and turning it around back to itself using a series of chords (Dm7b5-G7alt in this case).
May 10, 2024 · The blues chord progressions we know today are usually 12-bar blues progression in common (4/4) time. However, when jazz musicians play the blues, you’ll find blues songs with different variations and different time signatures.
The last two bars typically contain what is often referred to as the "turnaround". This is the climax of the 12 bar blues sequence that prepares the listener for the return to the tonic (the return home) and a new 12 bars.
