avoid the E natural (E). When
the F7 comes around in the progression, This
Blues has more of a “Gospel” feeling to it.
Of course the ear is also going to
hear and be influenced by the arpeggios of
these chords as well
For A minor Pentatonic the
Chords are A7. D7. And E7.
The A minor Pentatonic
Blues Scale played against these Chords

could also switch back and forth between the

Scale.

Scale can bend towards the Major Blues
Scale, and the Major Blues Scale can bend
towards the Minor Blues Scale. It’s how you

OK, I’m going to take a short cut here. Knowing your Mixolydian 7th chord
arpeggio, and off of the same (1) or Tonal Center, playing your Major and Minor Blues
Scales from that same Tonal Center is a great way to organize your “Blues” material.
In rubbing shoulders with a lot of good country guitar pickers over the years, I’ve
noticed that this is basically the way they look at organizing it. Whether they arrived at this by
collecting licks, or what ever, this is a very good way to organize. Every time a “7th” chord
comes up be it a One Chord, Four Chord or Five Chord, it get’s the same treatment. The
following slides convert this into the Numbers System.
