Beginners Notes #72-5 Note Blues Scale in E-Cont.

Lets expand a little on the first scale below. Notice, I’ve marked the notes that fall out side of the
original 5 Note Scale with ( ). Again, play them against the E, A & B7 cords of the key. Look at
how this gives us six different centers on the neck to play this 5 Note Blues Scale, not including
the open E and above the 12th fret.
