Scales: Blues

 

The blues scale for guitar is basically just the same as the minor pentatonic scale, with an added “blues note”.  This makes the scale hexatonic, or having six notes.  The sound is as it would seem from the name; bluesy.

Red= Held note
Blue= Start of new octave
1-4 = fret

The scale should be read left to right, and bottom to top
This is the basic outline of the scale.  The fingering can be transposed up the neck on any set of frets.
