C Minor Blues
C · E♭ · F · G♭ · G · B♭
The blues scale is the C minor pentatonic with the flattened fifth — the blue note — added between the fourth and the fifth. That one extra note is what gives C Minor Blues its vocal, gritty quality, and bending into or through it is most of what blues lead guitar is made of. Simple, movable, and the most-played scale in rock and blues.
