    Not a scale diagram as such but a discussion of the minor pentatonic scale.

          Thank you so much for taking the time to give a listen, and for the kind compliment!

          Its a "fluid" and "under construction" page right now, a couple of the songs are in progress and in need of a little tweaking, and I hope to add a few more I am working on very soon.

          I am studying and working hard to learn this production craft.......

    I like using the +  or --  box by the strings to plug in any string tunings you want.  Just use the top 3 or 4 strings for the typical cbg. js

    Keni Lee Burgess referred me to the site linked below and it is cool.

    Just plug in the string tuning you use and whatever scale you want (like D pentatonic blues)

    and it will show the chart of notes for whatever tuning you are using or scale you want.

    Dave, a specific answer is difficult because 1: it depends on your tuning and 2: Although I reckon I know what you mean be "blues scale" there are actually multiple scales you will want to learn at some point.

    So I suggest an excercise that will help both answer your question and help further your understanding.

    Draw out your finger board on a sheet of paper and fill in the blocks for each string at each fret. Only takes a few minutes once you get going. Duplicate several copies, then look up the desired scale, say "A minor pentatonic," and color it in. Then practice playing that box until it becomes second nature. Find yourself a backing track in that key to play along with and you will have hours of fun learning to use that scale in different patterns and peices and soon, you discover new things and start to feel pretty good about it! Now move that box to an E root or a G root etc. and get some more backing track practice in other styles and keys.... and your on your way!

    Hope that helps!
