          Keeping it simple…

          – Add the flat five and you have the blues scale
          – Then there’s the relative major to your minor, brian covers this on the site I believe
          – Then Combine the major & minor pentatonic scales into your licks
          – There’s the extended pentatonic scale
          – And there’s jazz….which takes it to a whole another level!

            Play the Dorian Mode over the Blues scale and you recognize a sound played by many guitarists.
