			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To play the blues you really only need to know 3 chords. That's the good news. And there's no bad news.</p>
<p>Because the 3 chords you need to know are chords that you will use throughout your guitar playing life.</p>
<p>They'll be the cornerstone of your blues playing.</p>
<p>And not only that, but you will also be using these chords a lot if you're playing any rock 'n' roll. <strong>For example, you could play pretty much any Little Richard song with these chords. </strong></p>
<p>The first chord you need to know is E major. Now for the blues, we're going to need to modify it slightly by adding what's known as a 'blue note'.</p>
<p><strong>All dominant 7th chords include what's known as a 'blue note'.</strong></p>
<p>To be more precise, the blue note is the note a tone lower than the root not. So for B, the blue note is A.</p>
<p>We need to include the blue note in our three blues chords.  So the chords we really want to use are  E7, A7 and B7.</p>
<p>Here they are:</p>

<p>OK, so how do we make a blues tune out if these? Well the most common, simple and effective way to do it is to play a 12 bar blues.</p>
<p>When people say they're playing a blues, they usually mean a 12 bar blues.</p>
