You can also use the Cycle of Fifths to help you remember your
common chord sequences. For example on a standard I, IV, V blues
progression, imagine that the key of the tune is your 1st position,
then your IV chord will be in 12th position and your V chord will
be in 2nd. So for a blues in C you have C7 for your I chord, F7
for your IV chord and G7 for the V chord.
It also works for the ii, V, I/i, progressions that you often find
in jazz and more sophisticated blues. Here again if you imagine,
the key as 1st postion, the ii chord will be in 3rd position, the V
chord in 2nd and the I/i chord in 1st. So in C major that gives
you Dm7, G7 and Cmaj7 or in C minor typically Dm7b5, G7b9 and CmMaj7.
Hope this is useful
