Music notation for the Blues Pentonic scale

Sign in to disble this ad
I Hope I spelt this right? But I am looking for the pentac blues scale in music notation instead of tabs.


I think I have the basic understanding of tabs but not really.


I think the scale is like E string 1 3
A string 3 5
D string 5 7
G string 7 9


FOR THE Pentonic blues scale am I right?

Minor Pentatonic add flat five blues scale:

Root + minor 3rd + perfect 4th + flat 5th + perfect 5th + minor 7th (root)

So in G it would be:

4th (E) string - 3rd fret

3rd (A) string - 1st fret, 3rd fret, 4th fret, 5th fret

2nd (D) string - 3rd fret (5th fret)

The notes in the G minor pentatonic add flat five blues scale are: G Bb C Db D F (G)

I hope that helps - I have no idea how to write musical notation in a post.

PDF.

The above post pretty much sums it up.

If you use the below link and select the last item under contents - The BLUES SCALE and Its Use - you'll see all twelve blues scales notated in both treble and bass clef.

Someone posted this link here before. Lots of great information.
