C Blues Horizontal (Guitar, Intermediate)


Learning this expanded pattern will give you total control over the C blues scale - horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. It is advisable to memorize the entire scale in chunks that are four frets wide. Here are a few things to be aware of:

1. Hollow circles represent the C note.
2. Orange circles represent a simple pattern for the C minor pentatonic scale: C, Eb, F, G, and Bb notes.
3. Gray circles represent the rest of the pentatonic scale, outside of the simple diagonal pattern from yesterday.
4. Blue circles represent the jazzy-sounding blue note of the scale: F#.
