The Blues Scale in All 12 Keys:
The blues scale is a six-note scale commonly used in blues music, adding a distinct "blue" feeling to the sound. There are two main types of blues scales:
- Major Blues: Derived from the major pentatonic scale with a "blue note" (flattened third) added.
- Minor Blues: Derived from the minor pentatonic scale with a "blue note" (flattened fifth) and another blue note (flattened seventh) added.
Here are the notes of the blues scale in all 12 keys for both major and minor versions:
