nice to know ppl in Blues ... first thing first ... in order to start playing blues u need to know the major chords and dominant 7th chords do u know 'em ... anyway here they are: (notes in paranthesis are optional) A=0 2 2 2 0 0 (high to low strings) A7 =0 2 0 2 0 0 D=2 3 2 0 (0) x D7 =2 1 2 0 (0) x E=0 0 1 2 2 0 E7 = 0 0 1 0 2 0 and just start playing those chords ... esp the 7th ones will give u the blues feel ... usually it wud go like A -> D -> E -> (D) -> A (u should play 7th - sounds better) since this is in key of A major ... we will play the A blues scale: (the numbers represent the fret - the shape i have put them will indicate how it'll look on the fretboard) 5 8 5 8 5 7 8 5 7 5 6 7 5 8 that s the basic scale .. u can extend it any way along the fret board ... i hope u get what i meant to put across to u regarding the A blues scale ... there are other ways to improvise also ... but this is the one that is most often used ... will give u that super - cool blues style and is soemthing that u dont have to rack your brains upon ...
ooops the formating of the blues scale was screwed somehow ... sorry the way it looks on the fretbpoard is like this 5-------8--- 5-------8-- 5----7-8----- 5----7------- 5-6-7--------- 5-------8------

https://www.cyberfret.com/scales/blues/index.php or try googling blues scale.....although sm things frm da site were nt clear to me... :think: :think: ....
wots this? these clips at cybetfret.com remind me..even my sir taught me sumthing like this>>> E]-3-4------------------------------ A]------2-4------------------------- D]-----------2-4/6------------------ G]-------------------4--------------- B]-----------------------5------------- E]--------------------------4-5-6-7---- is it a blues scale too????? or any other friggin type of scale..is it? :annoyed: tahda!!
yeah cypher ... site is pretty gud for checking out the bloose ... oye vini ... the thing u just posted ... doesn't seem to be any scale ... rather it seems to me as a scale with many chromatics to add "color" ... like the "E]--------------------------4-5-6-7----" no scale (i have come across) has four continuous notes running ... and blues ka sirf ek hi funda hai ... u keep playing the Major chords ... and keep playing the same Minor scale notes ... ie C maj chord ke oopar C min scale (petantonic or blues or dorian) notes thats it ...
well im a total blues fan cos blues is the mother of rock & the grandmother of metal i read that sabbath considered themselves a blues band ) but the way they played it heavy metal was born blues originated amongst the african slaves in america -- the story goes that the white masters used to order their slaves to play music to entertain them -- but the slaves were not too happy abt it [cant blame them] so they used to deliberately leave out some notes & play some notes flat [which explains the 7th chords] to irritate their masters & thus the pentatonic scale was born all -- thats ALL -- all rock & metal licks trace back to the blues scales -- basically 5 notes in 5 positions -- the positions depend on which of the 5 notes u start with -- so if u start with the 1st note u get the 1st position, start with 2nd note to get second position etc the notes for both the minor & major blues scales are the same -- its just which starting note [root] & the emphasis with which u play e.g. take the 5 positions in https://www.cyberfret.com/scales/blues/page3.php -- in the form 2 if u start with 6th string, 5th fret as root then its a major scale & if u play the same form 2 with 6th string, 8th fret as root then its a minor next thing u need to know is how each position 'fits' into each other which is nicely given on the same link - basically it open up the entire fretboard & ur on ur way to creating ur own licks
