What is the reasoning behind dominant chords for the I and IV in blues music?
Let's take an example in the key of C, where normally, the chords constitute C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, and B diminished.
In, blues, something extra is added. They're normally not just C, F, and G. They're seven chords (or extensions).
C = C E G
F = F A C
G = G B D
In blues, they're extended into dominant chords. G7 if the natural dominant in C major, but in blues, the minor 7th note is also added to C and F chords, making them dominants.
C7 (C, E, G, and B-flat) comes from C mixolydian scale/F major)
F7 (F, A, C, E-flat) comes from the C dorian scale/F mixolydian/B-flat major).
C major isn't meant to naturally accomodate sharp or flay keys, but somehow, in blues, the C and F chords (B-flat note and E-flat notes respectively) are added to make them dominants.
What is the history behind the dominant chords in blues.
BONUS (my opinion): Since the tonic major of blues is mainly a dominant 7th, I think "major" blues (C) should have the mixolydian time signature. This is also logical IMO because G7 is sometimes heard in C mixolydian's relative major, F, as a dominant of the dominant chord and that in F major, F7 is also used to resolve to a B-flat.

What harmonica has 32 holes?
Favourite answer:An octave on a harmonica is 8 holes, right? Two rows, four blowing, four sucking. It's not a chromatic harmonica, right? It's diatonic. I know there are chromatic harmonicas but I don't think I've ever seen one and I don't know how they would work.
So a 32-hole harmonica is four octaves. It's a 4-octave harmonica.
