About this scale
The minor blues scale is the soul of electric guitar. Its blue note (b5) between the 4th and perfect 5th creates the expressive tension specific to blues. SRV, BB King, Buddy Guy — all exploit it through bends, vibratos, and slides. On the neck, the blue note is easily accessible from box 1 of the minor pentatonic.
