C Blues Scale Lesson

The C Blues Scale can be used for soloing over blues progressions in the key of C major or minor. An example would be the progression with the chords:
C major / C Major / C Major/ C Major/ F Major / F major / C Major / C Major / G Major / F major / C Major / G major

Another Progression would be:
C minor / C minor / C minor/ C minor/ F minor / F minor / C minor / C minor / G minor / F minor / C minor / G minor
