Your final Blues Scale exercise move to the nearest shape possible as we go through our favorite cycle, the cycle of 4ths!
Just like for the minor pentatonic, the movement of this exercise is:
- Am, Em shape
- Dm, Am Shape
- Gm, Dm shape
- Cm, Gm shape
- Fm, Cm shape
The pattern repeats itself!
The next 3 will be exactly the same:
- Bbm, Em shape
- Ebm, Am shape
- Abm, Dm shape
- Dbm, Gm shape
- Gbm, Cm shape
This is followed by the last two keys:
- Bm, Em shape
- Em, Am shape
After 12 keys we are now back in Am and ready for the Dm shape.
