If the dominant chord is the 5th degree of a major scale how do you explain a A7 D7 E7 Blues progression?

why dont you ask chatgpt about it tbh
don't ask chatgpt for music theory, it has a really jumbled understanding and will just bullshit you all day
i guess it makes sense since it's just generating text based on probabilities without any real rules being input into it
I don't understand the question.
That's why it's called theory. It doesn't have to adhere to the rule book to make sense to the ear.
theory is a guide
what people like to listen to often contradicts theory, but rarely enough that theory is still useful
Black musicians don't follow european music theory because they can't read
What the FUCK are you talking about?
Blues has different rules. I7-IV7-V7 is literally THE standard blues progression, though usually as part of a longer structure with a turnaround at the end. Blues also has dominant 7ths everywhere and major and minor are practically interchangeable.
This is unironically like what Adam Neely was probably trying to talk about with that clickbait "music theory is le racist" video. You can't apply standards of Western classical to blues and blues-derived music let alone folk and classical traditions from throughout the world. It's a completely different language.
Isn’t Adam Neely that homeless schizophrenic who got choked out in NY
How do those two things contradict each other?
It changes Key every chord.
Crazy! But nice
What does the question even mean?
If the progression starts with A7, then the E7 is the 5th degree (dominant chord) of the A you started on.
Well D and E are still the fourth and fifth of A so presumably that’s why
A7 resolves to D. D7 resolves to G. E7 resolves to A. So, the progression becomes 1 4 5 in D major.
are you talkingabout the sevens? yeah blues is different. you can add "blue" notes to any chord, regardless of the mode
just like you can play a C natural in that first a major chord, if you're soloing
modern music eschews classical theory; you can flatten thirds, fifths, sevenths et al without it carrying the same implications they might otherwise would
it's really funny to me when people know enough about theory to ask these sort of questions but know so little as to not know the answer.
Me too bro I’ll was literally laughing for ten minutes after reading the OP. Funniest shit I’ve seen in my life
Why is it funny? I still don't get the question
not so much funny as just confusing
I think OP is wondering how/why the I and VI chord have sevenths added. he's under the assumption sevenths can only be added to the dominant (the V chord)
so.. he has very basic theory knowledge, like level one.
