C minor is closely related to Eb major. In fact, if a song is in the key C minor you will play mostly the same positions as a song that's in Eb major.

D# and Eb are the same note, but when it's the key signature it's always called Eb (E flat).

What arrangement of Lonesome, On'ry, and Mean are you listening to?
I don't hear that relation in the way my band plays it.

In a blues in the key of C, Eb is the IIIb chord. It is a passing chord between I and IV, or between IV and I. Or it may be a chord in its own right as one of the five pentatonic chords: I IIIb IV V VIIb. It is a very important chord in blues and jazz, or anything that borrows from those.

The chord C has a c-e-g in it. D# has D#-G-Bb. The 2 chords have a G in common. JP

Slide from "C" (no pedals) up to D#, then press "A" pedal and "F" lever together, and you're back in "C". Smile
