Description
Our next example of the minor blues is played in the key of D minor. As opposed to open chords from before, we are going to use the barre chords you are already familiar with. Rooted on the A string, our I chord is D minor, the IV chord is G minor, and the V chord is A7. We are also going to introduce a very common chord substitution in the blues, which is the addition of a flat VI chord. In the key of D minor, that chord will be a Bb. With that added to our mix of chords, we now have a common minor blues progression that demonstrates a great real world example of how this style can be approached.
