Dominant 7th chords are generally used throughout a blues progression. The addition of dominant 7th chords as well as the inclusion of other types of 7th chords (i.e. minor and diminished 7ths) are often used just before a change, and more changes can be added.

For example, the chord Cm 6 contains the notes C–E ♭ –G–A. The augmented sixth chord usually appears in chord notation as its enharmonic equivalent, the seventh chord.
The move to the IV chord usually happens at bar 3 (as opposed to 5 in twelve bar); however, "the I chord moving to the V chord right away, in the second measure, is a characteristic of the eight-bar blues." [1] In the following examples each box represents a 'bar' of music (the specific time signature is not relevant).
