Tags: #exercise, #minor key

Learn the A minor blues scale on the guitar in 5th position. The A minor "blues" scale adds just a single passing tone to the A minor pentatonic scale. The A minor pentatonic scale notes are: A C D E G. Add in an E "flat" and we get the A minor blues scale: A C D Eb E G.


5th position means you'll be up the neck a bit, with your index finger at the 5th fret. Follow the suggested fingerings in the guitar tablature. Try to hold down the fretted notes as long as possible. This will build strength, coordination, and help you get a smoother and cleaner sound.
