666thmessihah. …alot of the best musicians in history could give a f*** about theory. your ethier good or no good. and yea theory might help. but theory dosnt make someone a good mucisian
You know what; when …
You know what; when I started, scales did alot for me; there are people saying just knowing the scale is pointless; its not, at the end of the day, all you need to know to be a good musician is how to play your instrument; scales, chords, time signatures, and other areas of theory are only there to describe something you have just played. Knowing a scale, and wherein lay the specific steps, are all you need to get started.
I for one appreciate the effort people like this have put in for us

I think he is a little to stoned to be thinking enough to teach all of that “complicated” info. And since this is expert village you cant expect the best lesson.
What really I don’t …
What really I don’t understand from this “lesson” is why you talk about with fret press instead of explain the relationship between the blues scale intervals/notes and the chords where use it. A mechanical approach in studying a scale is not working and useless… A scale is a “colour” for music, talk about the colours of the scale and not where put the fingers on the keyboard!
This scale can be …
This scale can be used on a minor chord even if the 4th aug plays a bit strange. The most common use of the blues scale is on a dominant seventh chord where the 4th perfect is dissonant, the 3rd minor and the 5th dim generate a blues feeling [minor harmony on a dominant seventh chord].
Guys, in theory …
Guys, in theory every scale with 5 notes could be a pentatonic, but that’s not the case… However, the blues scale, a six notes scale, is not a pentatonic, even if it origins from the minor pentatonic scale {really from the ancient African pentatonic} plus the #4 degree. It can be even though as a minor scale without the 2nd and 6th degree and a 4th aug.
this isnt a …
this isnt a pentattonic scale lol

well all that rock …
well all that rock is, is a spin off of blues, its all the same concept
Haha true, I …
Haha true, I realised the same thing :p
no,cos pentatonic …
no,cos pentatonic is 5 notes,so ur right cos the flat 5th would make 6,so i think EV is not very expert or logical this time—but there are other scales to use that are just as easy and blues scale is only(as u know)half a natural minor scale ,so why use a blues scale!-we actually use a major/mixolididion when we play a 12 bar!!!-basically its an over used t scale so u can play over major or minor with ease-use it sparingly and use other scales to broaden ur own playing style
Thats the Blues …
