About the Ab blues scale
The blues scale adds a flat 5th (the 'blue note') to the minor pentatonic scale, creating its signature gritty, soulful sound. This six-note scale is the foundation of blues music and is widely used in rock, jazz, funk, and R&B. The blue note creates the expressive tension that defines the blues feel.
