scales

There are some interesting variations on the blues scale in the riffier parts of this song so we’ve provided you with the full two- and three-octave shapes, which are well worth further exploration; why not try incorporating them into your own music? The ‘extra’ notes are shown in green to allow easy identification. Simply learn the standard blues scale shapes (without the extra notes), then add the additional passing notes in. The solo is based in the E minor pentatonic scale at the 12th position.
