(1st Form) Blues Scale Pattern - Guitar
Fret Hand Fingering
Description
The blues scale is pretty much the minor pentatonic scale with the addition of a b5. This single note addition to the scale easily turns this scale into the perfect blues scale for all your blues needs. This pattern of the blues requires a slight position adjustment between the 5th and 6th string due to the location of the blue b5 note.

Actual Keyed Scales for this Pattern
Pattern Definition:
Scale Patterns are moveable scales where fingerings don't change from key to key. The root note (green dot) names the key of scale. What does this actually mean? It means you simply learn this pattern and you immediately know all 12 keys. You just need to place it on the correct fret to play the scale in a particular key.
