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
