Playing B Minor Blues Scales on Piano

Now we're going to over our B minor blues and what we do is we take our three, seven scales and we make them a minor scale. By doing that we lower the third degree of each scale which we'll show you right now. So if we take a look at B again and have one, three, five, seven, right, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. I'm going to take the three and lower it. So now instead of four sharps we have three, if we go to our four chord or E seven we are going to drop this to there and have two sharps. Then our five seven instead of having five sharps we have four. (playing) We are still going to use our same blue scale in the right hand because it is already a minor scale. We are going to play one, four, one, five, four and that's your minor blues in B.
