    This document presents the A blues scale in 5 positions on the guitar fretboard. The root notes are indicated by black dots and the "blue note" or b5 is shown with a blue dot. The remaining scale notes are marked with red dots. Roman numerals indicate the fret positions. This blues scale can be played in all keys by transposing the positions up and down the neck. It is more important to learn one position thoroughly in order to solo than to try learning all positions at once.

    Above is the A blues scale shown in 5 positions. The root notes [ in this case A ] are shown by
    the black dots. The blue note [b5] is shown by the blue dot [ inventive arent I ], this note will
    lend a blues feel to your lead playing but phrases should not end on it. The other notes in the
    scale are shown by the red dots, the roman numerals indicate the frets. This scale is
    transpositional and can be played, and should be practiced, in all keys. However, dont try to
    learn all the shapes at once. It is more important to know one shape well and be able to use it
    to solo, than many shapes and not be able to use them.
