Playing A Flat (Ab) Minor Blues Scale on Piano

Now we are going to go over our A flat blues. So we're going to start by taking a look at A flat seven first. So we start on here, we start A flat, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one, so you're using all these black notes and these white notes. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one and for this section we're going to lock the base. We are going to go one, three, five, seven, one, seven, five, three. We're going to show you your blues scale for your right hand and it's one minor third and you have these three notes here. One minor third, four up to five, then seven. So now we're going to play that minor scale while I do my locking base blues. (playing piano) That is your first chord and your blue scale for A flat.
