Theoretically, I know all the blues scales. There are a few that I play frequently, others I play much less frequently.
They are a very good thing to have under your fingers comfortably.
How many blues scales can you play comfortably?
The blues scale has six notes.
The root, minor third, fourth, diminished fifth, perfect fifth, and minor seventh.

Also Neil i would not just only want to know the blues scales. which scales are the Jazz scales as well.
Neal says
What do you mean by a ‘jazz scale’?
The ‘blues scale’ is one particular type of scale with a very specific meaning. It’s not like a minor scale, for which there are several types.

Hello Neil:
I haven’t learn any of the blues scale yet, can you tell me which ones are the blues scale. Apparently the music Director that i had when i got started did not show me the blues scale.
