- Follows a standard 12-bar blues progression in F, utilizing dominant 7th chords (I7, IV7, V7) throughout to maintain a traditional blues tonality.
- Incorporates a chromatic neighbor chord in the turnaround, where the Db7 (bVI7) acts as a tritone substitute for G7 (V/V) or a side-slipping tension returning to C7 (V7).
- The progression relies on the pull between the IV7 (Bb7) and the tonic I7 (F7), typical of the Kansas City blues style popularized in the 1930s.
Improvisation Focus F Minor Blues Scale (F, Ab, Bb, B, C, Eb).
Difficulty Rating 1/5. The slow tempo and predictable 12-bar structure make it an ideal entry point for mastering foundational blues phrasing and dominant chord resolutions.
