A Double-Flat #adoubleflat #abb
We're not finished with the dictionary yet, but we'd like to take the next seven weeks to list what we have so far. It's tricky to put musical notes in a definite order: Should we start with DO (C) or alphabetically (A)?
It's a bit aribtary, but we're starting alphabetically, with the lowest A possible: A double-flat.

Dictionary: Gb Blues Scale
... and so ends our week of completing the blues scale for all sharps and flats. Yes, the G-flat blues scale would sound fantastic over a G-flat progression, like G-flat major. However, the F-sharp blues scale contains less complicated note names.

Really, F-flat? Really? F-flat. This is as ridiculous as we're going to get, as far as blues scales go -- no double-flat and/or double-sharp root note scales this time around. We're all heading over to the E blues scale entry, if you want to come along.
Dictionary: E# Blues Scale
Why you're using the E-sharp blues scale over an E-sharp progression is your own business. Otherwise, check out the F blues scale instead.

Dictionary: Db Blues Scale

At this point, we're just being completist regarding blues scales. If you have some logical reason to be bluesy in B-sharp, here it is. Otherwise, you want to check out the C blues scale.
