Blues Scale Guitar

The Blues scale is a variation to the Minor Pentatonic scale. It has all the same notes :1, b3, 4, 5, b7; but it also has a #4 or b5 which gives it a very powerful sound. The blue note is a great passing tone note, meaning that it’s not a note to focus on too much during a solo, but it is great to add a little spice to your improvisations.
