The Minor Blues Scale Box
Patterns on Guitar Fretboard
This is a very helpful page for learning the minor
blues scale for
guitar. The images below covers all the minor
blues scale patterns in all positions on guitar. You can easily pass
one position to other and practice all the minor
blues scale guitar positions using this page.
The sample scale is given in G and all the red notes
refers to the root note. The blue notes are the
"blue note" what makes this scale blues because if
you ignore these blue notes what you see on
the guitar scale box patterns below are exactly the
minor pentatonic scale box patterns. This means that
if you can remember the minor pentatonic scale on
guitar you can also play blues just adding the "blue
note"
You can practice these minor blues scale box patterns just
shifting the position (using a different root note).
We recommend you to memorize this box patterns in
string and position pairs like 3th position-root is
on A string, and so on.
