Lets see if I can help you. Lets take a very popular song "Sweet Home Chicago". Alot of Blues Songs are what we call 1 4 5 songs, meaning three cords. Say the song is in C now lets count up four C D E F so the F is the second cord. Now count up five C D E F G so G cord is what we call the turn around. Heres the song and changes.
C
Come on baby dont you want to go
F
I said come on baby dont you want to go
G turn around
Back to that same old place Sweet Home Chicago
The best way to learn is to listen to Blues. Visualize where the music is going, when it changes keys. It wont take long and it will all make sense Best of luck to you and Keep The Blues Alive..........bluz
