Well, I IV V is one of the most common progressions out there, and it is the tonic, subdominant and dominant. You'll find it in rock, pop, blue, jazz, classical, just about everything out there. One example could be G, C, D in the key of G. Once you know the key of the song, you know what to improvise in! What exactly did you want to know about it?

Here's a short recorded example of a 1-4-5 progression in A, would be cool if you could record something over it for me wink.gif

Excuse the sloppy playing it's late blink.gif

I think it just means that you progress through the major scale..

Like in C it would be C F G, but ussually in blues it's preety rare to see a common major or minor chords, so play around with the chords till you get that blues feel, for example try C7, F7, GMAJOR6(I think it's the one im referring to, it's a G chord with an added F, so correct me if I'm wrong tongue.gif)

G with an F would be a straight G7 - you would need an E to get a G6 ....

The other way around - G to an F is a dominant 7th smile.gif
