It's not a blues at all. At least not the melody, or the keyboards, I don't know about the chords... Joey's melody is totally pentatonic. Which means you can, transposed or untransposed, play it on the black keys of the piano without hitting the whites... just try  about Mic's intro to the chorus, that's a harmonic minor scale  If it means anything to you, at all I think I need to stop studying music theory |

Very interesting post, toneirene. It's nice to know musicians point of view. So please don't stop studying music theory.  |

It's not a blues chord progression either. I typical blues song consists of 1 - 4 - 5 chords, with some variations of course. The last part of the chorus however, where everything calms down before the riff kicks in again, is a typical blues thing with the flat 6 going to the 5 and then back to the 1.

Do you have the tab? Or, can you just hint at the chords? I can keep up |

So the chorus is E-D-A-G-D and the little thing at the end is C7(which is the flat 6 in E) and then B7(which is the 5). |
