PLAY WITH THE BLUES SCALE How do I use the following graphics to improve my solo guitar? Let’s say we have a standard 12 bar Blues in E with the chords E(7)/A7/B7. Use the E scale below and locate the red root notes (E). To get the minor pentatonic scale, add the black notes (E-G-A-B-D). You can now play in “safe mode” with these notes, each note will sound more or less good, there are no wrong notes. The next step is adding the blue note (yes, it’s colored blue…, Bb in this case). If you reach the point that it gets boring, carefully try to add some of the gray notes from the major pentatonic. Some – not all! Handle them with care, you’ll soon find out when to use which note to get the tonal effect you want to express. If you wonder why there are less gray notes than black notes: both scales share the same root (red) plus the V (B in this case), which is colored black to avoid confusion. Tip: Many more scales graphics in every key and for different tunings and other nice extra features are at the scale and chord generator.
