About this scale
The Rock'n'Roll / Boogie scale captures the essence of shuffle and boogie-woogie on guitar. The characteristic double-stop boogie patterns (alternating root–5th with chromatic runs) derive directly from this scale. Present throughout original rock'n'roll, from rockabilly to classic 1970s rock.
