In the blues, the I, IV, and V chords are typically played instead as 7th chords: I7, IV7, V7 (look at the III7 chord for shapes)

The VI, II, and III chords are also alternately interchangeable with VI7, II7, and III7

The bII and bV are typically used in metal (they have a very dark, harsh, dissonant sound)
