B Classic Rock Loop
I – ♭VII – IV progression in B major
B Classic Rock Loop — I – ♭VII – IV
The B Classic Rock Loop (B – A – E) borrows the ♭VII chord from the parallel Mixolydian mode, giving it a rebellious, anthemic edge. This three-chord riff has powered rock music since the 1960s. With seventh chords (BMaj7 – A7 – EMaj7), it takes on a bluesier, more soulful character.
