Major Blues Scale — All 12 Keys
Major Blues in all 12 keys for guitar, bass, ukulele, and piano — notes, scale degrees, and free printable charts. Major pentatonic plus a passing b3 that slides into the major 3rd — a brighter, country- and gospel-leaning cousin of the minor blues scale.
How the major blues is built
The major blues has 6 notes, with the scale degrees R · 2 · b3 · 3 · 5 · 6. Those degrees stay the same in every key — only the note names change — which is why the same shape moves up and down the neck.
