i – iv – i – V progression in B minor
B Minor Blues — i – iv – i – V
The B minor blues progression (Bm – Em – Bm – F#) strips the blues to its darkest essence. The minor tonic and subdominant create deep melancholy, while the major V provides dramatic tension. Seventh voicings (Bm7 – Em7 – Bm7 – F#7) add extra soul and depth.
