C Blues Vertical (Guitar, Beginner)


This pattern of the C blues scale will make you move in a mostly vertical motion, relative to the fretboard. 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. Blue circles represent the jazzy-sounding blue note of the scale: F#.

The blues scale sounds great above several varying chord progressions, from those resembling a major key (C5, F5, G5) to those more minor in nature (C5, Eb5, F5) to the relative major (Eb, Ab, Bb), etc.
