How To Play A Blues Scale

How To Play A Blues Scale Hey Bharath, These scales are very closely related to the minor pentatonic scales. There is just one note added - the flat 5. This note connects the 4th and 5th notes very smoothly and gives it that "Bluesy" character. The scale works over many chords but for the video demonstration I'm playing a minor7 chord. The whole/half step pattern for the Blues scale is: 1 ½ W H H 1 ½ W Below are 2 patterns for the Blues scale that are efficient and very popular.
