Blues Scales: The Full Five

These are the full five scales for blues guitar. With these five scales you can cover the fret board back and forth. Play with the scales, you will see how they connect.

These scales are the basics for any key. Once you have mastered these scales off by heart, you are half way there, to being a blues guitarist. Of course feeling, touch, and emotion are the missing keys. (pun intended)

  3. Major mistakes in this minor blues scale. i.e. these don't fit together. Top middle is wrong for sure.

  4. I agree maybe the dirst note is down a fret.

  5. On the lowest string of the second diagram, the first note should be on the second fret with the second finger, not the first fret with the first finger...

  6. Your second position the #1 should be on the F# not the F.
