However, there are many patterns that approach made famous blues. You can branch from these patterns in your own unique style. Eventually you everything bluesy sound with a few simple dishes. There are different types of blues scales. Many are derived from the pentatonic scale. However, a genuine blues scale is what is called a blue note.
