be bored......lol
really just depends on the feel of the song, what the other instruments are doing.
I MAKE it a bluesy thing lol. If it will fit (like jlynnb1 said--depending on everyone else), I usually treat that like a Imin7 - IV9 - V9 assuming I can get away with it.
Otherwise, you're just majors all the way, maybe a V7, but if that's the case you're talking about having some ol' time church (mountain style lol).
When I say 1-4-5, I really mean 1-4-5! Majors! LOL
We did one song today, in C, I did something like this...

The songs have a reggae feel to them.
