The Blues Scale

A six note scale, which is just the minor pentatonic scale with an added flattened 5th. If you already know your minor pentatonic shapes just add in the extra note between the 3rd and 4th notes of the scale. There are a few other possible fingering variations but these are the ones I prefer and use myself. Download a high-quality PDF here
