Chords to play with thrill is gone

So Bm the one is Bm but 4 and 5? E7 and F7 sound ok to me.

I guess this is a minor blues whats the usual pattern here if so?

Very confused as usual ha ha!

Thanks John

Lesson 11 of BGU2 is almost 100% about that song.

The bottom of page 43 of the manual is literally the tab for the rhythm part of the song, just with the serial numbers filed off.

And you, sir, are the sage soul who pointed out the pertinent lessons to me last year.

In B minor the i iv & v are Bm Em & F#m. And you could play this as a "standard" 12-bar minor blues

However, it's common in minor progressions to replace the v with a more Dominant V7, F#7.

Or as @PapaRaptor shows, a F#7#9 in this case. (Same Dominant family.)

It's also common to approach the V7 from a half-step above with a Major chord. (bVI)

The GMaj7, in this case.

It can also depend on who you're playing it with, there are several substitutions for the 5

Thanks everyone! I have been having fun soloing on it using B minor pentatonic and doing ok ish ...

Good to have a better road map think i must have forgotten BGU2 lesson 11 completely!

The leader of one of my bands insists the F# is minor. It actually sounds OK as long as everyone does it, but I always need to remember to switch the the F#7 when playing in a jam. Most people also stay on the I in the last bar, instead of the spicy F#7#9

John, if you search youtube, Griff has a video on how to play the rhythm.

I also like Justin Sandercoe's fingering for the GMaj7 and F#7 chords.

Thrill Turn Around

It's like "Stormy Monday" you don't want to get too comfortable playing it one way, because everybody twist it a little, or a lot!
