Blues Re-harmonization
Lets check again the chords from basic blues form. How we can replace chords in the Blues?
Form
12 bars blues
How to do it?
If you have a bass in your band, you can replace all normal chords with chords a major third above. Every time we replace a dominant X7 chord with a chord a major third above, we get a Xm7b5. For example if we have A7 chord, we can replace it with C#m7b5.

Replacement result
The sound result is quite interesting. When we play the C#m7b5 with the bass in A7, we get the ninth of A7. This also happens when we replace the chords D7 and E7 with F#m7b5 and G#m7b5 respectively.
