F 2 3 4
F 2 3 4
F 2 3 4
F 2 3 4

Bb 2 3 4
Bb 2 3 4
F 2 3 4
F 2 3 4

C 2 3 4
Bb 2 3 4
F 2 3 4
F 2 3 4 (variations during the turn around; previous blues lessons should give you an idea about this part)

The F Blues Scale sounds good in F 12-Bar Blues, as well as in F minor and Ab major (try this past week's variety of chords).
