Minor Blues Scale — All 12 Keys

Minor Blues in all 12 keys for guitar, bass, ukulele, and piano — notes, scale degrees, and free printable charts. Minor pentatonic plus a b5 "blue note" passing tone between the 4th and 5th — the sound of blues, blues-rock, and jazz-blues phrasing.

How the minor blues is built

The minor blues has 6 notes, with the scale degrees R · b3 · 4 · b5 · 5 · b7. 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.
