The Different Blues Scales

tonymiceli 5 February 2010

Yep, there are several different blues scales. They each have a unique quality. Of course they do, any grouping of notes will have a quality that's unique and different from other groups. For instance play a major scale. Now flat the 3rd. Just changing one note is going to uniquely change the sound of that scale or grouping of notes.

Download and print out the pdf below and work on the different blues scales. I have a little etude with each one as well as ways to practice them. Put these etudes into as many different keys as you can. That is memorize them and then move them around into different keys. Don't transpose them on paper, unless you're really really really stuck.

Here is the link for the pdf:
