In beginning lessons on section with scales Brian mentions mixing blues scale and major scale together. Aren’t they two different sounds with the major using the 3rd and the minor scale flatting the 3rd?
Yes they do sound different but when you are playing a I-IV-V progression there is no III chord to determine if the song is major or minor so they both work. At least that is my understanding.
What I did to get a grip on this was to look through the lessons and pick a couple of 12 bar blues jamtracks in A, then just mess around switching back and forth from major to minor pentatonic. Before long you get a sense for when it’s appropriate to be in one vs the other.
