guitar scale
E♭ major blues
Major pentatonic with a flattened third added next to the third — the two live side by side rather than replacing each other.
The same sounds spelled from the other side are D♯ major blues.
Written out
Every accidental is written in, rather than left to a key signature, so the letters can be read one at a time.
The step pattern
What is true of it
E♭ major blues is E♭, F, G♭, G, B♭ and C, and back to E♭.
Its steps are W – H – H – W+H – W – W+H, where W is a whole step and H a half.
Across the first twelve frets of the guitar its notes fall in 37 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
