I am using the first 4 bars of Mockingbird Hill as an exercise in the arpeggios of a I-IV-V sequence which can extend right around the keys in the circle of 4ths. The V chord is dominant 7, while I and IV are the majors.

Tony's description (and playing) of the "Batman Blues" finally got the idea of F7|F7|F7|F7|Bb7| etc. across to me. However, now everything I try to play in FBlues mode sounds like Batman, and absolutely nothing sounds like folks in the…
