Good morning everyone,
I have a question regarding the blues chord progression for a bebop-style blues.
Let's take C as our key in question
|C7 |F7 |C7 |Gm7 C7|
|F7 |F#dim|C7 |Em7 A7|
|Dm7 |G7 |Em7 A7|Dm7 G7|
Bar 1 is clearly in the key of C. Bar 2 is clearly in F7.
Bar 4, the ii-V is relative to the F in Bar 5 (thus the ii-V-I is the Gm7-C7-F7)
My question is this: Are the Em7 and A7 in bars 8 and 11 drawn exclusively from the key of C?
Because A7 = A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A
If it were drawn from C, there would be no #s at all.
I have been working on my blues but something isn't quite right.
a) Does my question actually make any sense
b) Anyone have an answer?
