Here’s another blues example using a different format. You just play Chord 4 for the second measure instead of Chord 1. Everything else is the same. Here’s an example in the key of G:
The bluesy chords you were just using in the previous example are called 7th chords. For a long time I used these types of chords in my songs but I never understood where they came from and when to use them.

You can discover where they come from and how to use them in more detail in my book Guitar On the Spot II - Expanding the Code.
But first to get straight to jamming all over the guitar neck I recommend my e-book: Guitar On the Spot - Using the Code.
You'll use it to make up your own songs, solos and riffs up and down the guitar neck, jam with other people and figure out how to play simple songs, solos and riffs by ear.
Blues Guitar Chords You Must Know
I’ve spent the last four years trying to find ways to learn scales with chords, riffs, etc. This hasn’t happened until I researched yourwork and purchased your book.
When I saw the book I thought oh it’s just another book. You know I've looked at a lot of books and they basically remind me that I need to practice various chord patterns and shapes and notes, it’s all about practice, but with Jesse’s book, it allowed me to practice in a more effective way that really benefited my guitar playing.
It brought all those things that I thought were vastly beyond my abilities down to my level of understanding so that I could apply them and improve my skills.

I think it’s a great way to start if you’ve never played because you can just use this whole formula that he’s developed to enhance you’re playing and to learn.
I give you an 8 week complete money back guarantee, so if you decide it's not what you're looking for I'll give you your money back.
If you've been reading a bunch of books trying to “figure it out” (that’s what I did, it took me years) and you're still confused, just check out the code and see if it clears anything up for you. You have nothing to lose.

Notes played together. Two notes only give an interval called dyad or double stop when played on a guitar. The only exception is a power chord: root and fifth (sometimes also root and fourth) played together, not a real chord but usually accepted under this name by guitar players.
How To Play The Blues: Chords, Patterns And Fills For Major And Minor Blues
The basic chord where all others chords are derived from is the triad. As the name says, it consists of three (tri = 3) different notes. The first one is usually the root note. Then we have an interval to the second note and another interval to the third note. These intervals are usually of about the same size: they are made of major and minor thirds. These intervals determine the sound of a chord.
Now what’s a third? Why don’t we use a chromatic scale to avoid things like major and minor thirds? Why not just a third is three semitones, period? That’s because all these intervals are relative to the scale. And the most common scale in Western music (music of the “Western hemisphere”, not Country music) is the diatonic major scale, because it is based on mathematical relations between the frequencies (read more). So all interval names and therefore chord names are derived from this scale. Even if you play the Blues using a pentatonic scale.
To understand the chords better it’s useful to take a look at our band member’s instrument – the piano (or keyboard). Why? The keys are already build upon the C major scale: all white keys belong to it. So let’s take a look at it and name the intervals:
The 3 Chord Trick Explained (with Easy Song Examples)
Strange thing is: the root note itself is 1, not 0, in opposite to the normal way of counting something. Take it as it is – too late to change.
Next step: we build the C major chord using these keys. We start with the root note C, add a third to get E and another third to get G, resulting in 1-3-5 if we describe it using intervals:
The semitone intervals for this chord are root + 4 + 3. For all triad chords the semitone intervals are either 3 or 4. But they are not used to name it – see above. So the scale note intervals are root – third – fifth. Fine if we take only the white keys. Problem is – we

Notes between – the black keys. So there’s more than one third: a perfect third (the one we’ve used) and a minor third, the black key (Eb) below the E key.
If we use the minor third with the remaining keys we get the C minor chord, which can be written as 1-3b-5 (or 1-b3-5, b stands for down a semitone, b is called
(unison, fourth, fifth and octave) by one semitone, the result isn’t called minor but diminished. Perfect intervals got their names because they

Perfect due to their frequency relation, an octave also can always be divided into a fourth and a fifth. They always invert to another perfect interval. When you invert a perfect fourth, for example C – F, it becomes a perfect fifth: F – C. On the other hand, a minor interval is any interval that inverts into a major interval and a major interval is any one that inverts into a minor interval. Finally, an augmented interval inverts into a diminished interval, and a diminished interval inverts into an augmented interval. If there was a minor fifth, let’s say C – Gb, it would convert into Gb – C, which is – an augmented fourth! So there’s no minor fifth.
By the way – the diminished fifth is also called a tritone and divides the octave symmetrically. It is enharmonic to the augmented fourth, but this is not the same if you see the intervals in the scale context. Lord have mercy.
Finally, we can also use an augmented fifth to create a triad, resulting in the C augmented chord, 1-3-5# (# for up a semitone, called sharp):

Question: why not 1-3-5b? Look at the semitone intervals: the last interval from 3b to 5 is only two semitones, so it’s not a third!
If we want to build up a collection of chords for the C major scale we should include only those chords using notes from this scale. That means, the C minor chord as well as the diminished and augmented chord do not belong to this scale! If we build up triad chords using intervals of third we get the following:
If you count the intervals you can name all chords using the starting note as root note. For the scale intervals often Roman numbers are used, uppercase for major chords, lowercase for minor or diminished chords:

A chord means playing three different notes together, so if you play E-G-C instead of C-E-G it’s still a C major chord. This is called a chord inversion, with the bass note not being the root. Triad chords can have three positions, root, first and second inversion. On a guitar often a note is played more than once: the E major chord everyone learns at first is usually played on all six strings with the root note E played on three strings.
Now with just triad chords it’s hard to play the Blues – there’s no tension, no release. Only happy (major), sad (minor) or somehow strange (diminished). To get more chords, we simply keep on adding another (major) third, which is the seventh of the root note, again using only notes from the scale, resulting in the C major 7th chord, 1-3-5-7:
(3 semitones), resulting in a chord that wants to be resolved to – yes, our root major chord! Play G7 followed by C major (you’ve done this before a 1000 times…), you’ll hear it. Now G is the dominant (V) of C (don’t know why?), that’s why it’s also called G dominant 7th. The 7th chord build upon the fifth note always results in a dominant 7th.

Funny, let’s add another third to the dominant 7th. Wait, it must be a ninth, but the scale has only seven notes?!? Don’t care, just
