        Do the major and blues scale you show in beginner lessons pertain to all fret formats or only certain ones like 5th fret blues or 2nd fret major??

          Hi Tj …Welcome to the forum.
          The major scale can be played in any key. The blues scale, which is a derived from the minor penatonic scale, can also be played in any key. You”ll find blues is mostly played in guitar – friendly keys like E, G, A, & C. I suggest you sign up as a premium member (if no already) and check out the Blus Course on this site which teaches these scales and much more.
          Happy Tunes; NeilE
