Just to try and settle any confusion about the whole minor/major blues scale, I believe that when somebody referred to this as minor blues I think they mixed it up with minor pentatonic. I am pretty sure that the blues scale is the minor pentatonic scale. And also the thing about having the 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. In your solos and such is acquired by using the blues scale of the relative minor of the original scale. So if you are playing Bb blues chord progression then you can use the Bb blues scale

By definition a blues scale has b3, b5 ,b7. What you are getting into is the more general concept of pentatonic scales (with some passing tones). C-D-E-G-A is a C major pentatonic scale. To smooth things out I like to add Eb and Ab. Of course you are correct that going back and forth between the two (c blues and c pentatonic) makes your blues solo more interesting.

So if your are playing a C blues

@sfpratt1954 well i always thought of the 1-b3-4-b5-5-b7 notes in the scale to be minor blues and 1-2-b3-3-5-6 to be major blues, but i guess thats what youre saying

@greatcomedian18

You're confusing a blues scale with a blues chord progression. There is no such thing as a major or minor blues scale. That's why it has it's own name. If you play this scale against a C7 it's a major blues. If you play it against a C-7 it's a minor blues. But the scale remains the same.
