In a blues chord progression it is common to play the flatted (minor) seventh above the root of the chord in addition to the three tones/notes that make up the basic chord (for example, G7 = G B D + F, C7 = C E G + Bb, D7 = D F# A + C). What is the typical progression of chords in a blues stanza in terms of tonic, subdominant, and dominant?
