In this blues lesson, I will show you the most simple blues lead guitar trick you should learn right now.

We will start by learning the A minor pentatonic scale.

The pentatonic scale is one of the most popular blues scales of all time.

We will add two notes to the A minor pentatonic scale: The C# and F#.

The note C# can be used in conjunction with the note C to create the unique minor and major color so characteristic of the blues.

The note F# can be used to make a blues phrase more interesting and colorful.
