Blues scale

Since blue notes are alternate inflections, strictly speaking there can be no one blues


scale[2], but the scale most commonly called "the blues scale" comprises a flatted


seventh blue note, a flatted third blue note, and a flatted fifth blue note along with other


pitches derived from the minor pentatonic scale: C E(flat) F F(sharp) G B(flat) C.

The augmented scale, also known in jazz theory as the symmetrical augmented


scale, is so called because it can be thought of as an interlocking combination of two


augmented triads a minor second or minor third apart: C E G(sharp) and E(flat) G B.


It may also be called the "minor-third half-step scale" due to the series of intervals
