Playing E Minor Blues Scales on Piano

Now we are going to do our E minor blues. So if we take those three seven scales we learned from the E and we flat the third right. So here is our E seven black chord, we have one, three, five, seven, I'm going to take the third and make it flatted. One minor third, five, seven so we have this new scale, and then for our A instead of this we are going to have this. And like wise for our B instead of this we have that, so we flat our third again. So I'm going to play through a minor blues so look at, notice how I play the three and I'm still going to use my same blues scale in my right hand. (playing) That is your minor blues in E.
