Blues scale guitar positions allow us to play the blues scale ALL OVER the guitar fretboard instead of just in one spot. It takes some time to get the other positions down, but it’s worth it.

Lesson Description:

Oh how the blues scale sounds so good on the guitar!

Even just playing this scale up and down sounds impressively melodic.

And when applied to the blues scale, my go-to, root-targeting guitar scale exercise takes things to a new level.

This is a unique way of practicing the blues scale on the guitar that you may have never seen before.

Check out my solution to this problem. It sounds awesome and totally gets the blues scale mapped out once and for all.
