Using the Blues Scale

This lesson contains some examples which will help you become more comfortable with the Blues scale. In this first one the scale is played ascending and descending over the three bass notes C, F and G. Notice how changing the bass note alters the sound. Notice also the use of octaves in the left hand part. Practice each hand by itself at first if necessary.
