The A blues scale, being just the minor pentatonic plus the flat 5th (Eb) will fit in nicely, although bending the C up to the C#, won't work like it does in major keys, as there's no underlying chord containing a C# for it to resolve to.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Fretsource https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/another-blues-question/#post-307427 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/another-blues-question/#post-307407 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 23:15:32 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Musenfreund https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/another-blues-question/#post-307407 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/another-blues-question/#post-33248 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 22:55:08 +0000 when i hear that "this song is a blues song in the key of A" - i think of A major, D major and E major as the chords, and that although minor and major pentatonics can be used the "blues scale" for this progression would be the minor pentatonic with the flat 5th.

however, if somebody says "this is blues in A minor", what would the chords be (Aminor d minor and e minor??) and which scale would be the "blues scale". If the chrds are minor then the a vlues scale would not work in the saqme way would it? as i know it is common to bend the c upto the c# over major chords??

or am i confused - is the term "minor" not referring to the chords but just to the blues scale?]]> Guitar Players Discussion almann1979 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/another-blues-question/#post-33248
