A Major Blues
A · B · C · C♯ · E · F♯
A Major Blues is the A major pentatonic with a flattened third slipped in as a passing note, giving you the sweetness of the major pentatonic plus one gritty blue note to lean on. It's the sound of country lead playing, swampy southern rock, and the brighter side of blues. The trick is treating that flat third as a passing tone rather than a place to land.
