The Blues
Scale
|
In order to properly use the blues patterns
below, just determine the key of the song you are playing, and put the root
where the orange dot is...it doesn't matter which key you are playing in, just
move the pattern to the proper place on the
fretboard.
|
This pattern, in the key of A, would
be on the 2nd through the 6th fret, and would repeat at the 14th through the
18th fret...in the key of E, it would be at the 8th through the12th fret since
the fretboard repeats itself every 12 frets.
This pattern
in E would be at the fourth fret, and the 16th fret
and in A, would appear
first at the 10th and 22nd
This pattern would be at the 5th, and
17th in the key of A
And in the key of E, would start first with the open
strings, and again at the 12th fret.
This pattern, in the key
of A would start with open strings, and would of course show up again at
the12th fret....see if you can figure out where this pattern shows up in the
key of E.
This final blues pattern, would
start at thefirst fret in the key of E, and then moving up the fretboard twelve
frets would also place it at the 13th fret. |
