So, you may or may not have heard of the "Blues Scale" before. It's a 6-note scale that tries to sum up the essence of playing the blues.
But did you know that there's not just one Blues scale? In fact, there are "8 scales" in particular that are closely associated with playing the Blues, and especially jazz blues in particular.

What happened to the pentatonic b3 scale (R 2 b3 5 6) or "R&B" scale

Would be nice to point out that the “Major blues scale” and “minor blues scale” have the usual relative relationship as the major and natural minor: A “minor blues” is the same set of notes as “C major blues”. Just like A natural minor is the same set of notes as C major. That might not be completely obvious to a novice. Also: it would be important to point out that you can use the c minor blues scale over the whole form of a c blues but if you want to use the major blues scales, you need to follow the changes and switch to an f major blues scale when the form goes to F.

Great ! You’ll know you can also play the ‘Blues Scale’ starting on the 6th (ie on C7 start on an A).

B minor! To transpose from concert C to Bb, just think a whole step up
