So what scale can you play over a 12 bar blues if you want to solo? There are lots of possible scales you can use...but there is one that ALL the blues legends use most of the time: the minor pentatonic scale.
In this episode of the Ask James Guitar Show I'll show you how to play the scale, how to use it over the 12 bar blues and I'll also tell you the no.1 mistake that many new blues guitarists make with the scale which stops them sounding great when they use it.

Here's a breakdown of what's in this guitar lesson:

0:17 What scale should you use to play over a blues? The major scale? The minor scale? Pentatonic scales? This is a question I hear a lot!

0:40 There are lots of scales you can use over a blues but the most common is the minor pentatonic scale. This is the best starting point and definitely where you should begin.

0:50 Here's exactly how to play a minor pentatonic scale in the key of G.
