How to Read & Write Blues Piano Scales in E Flat (Eb) Major

So now we have our three basic chords down for the blues. Now we are going to take a look at the written form again as it looks on paper. So we start here on E flat seven or our one chord and we play four four measures. Then we go to our four chord, A flat two measures, then back to E flat, then B flat for one A flat, then B flat, so I'm going to go through and play again. (playing piano) E flat, A flat, E flat, A flat, A flat, E flat, B flat, A flat, so that is a run down again and I'm just using the same chords and I'm going through and using my blue scale and the scale that I get out of each of those chords. I'm just improvising and using that one, three, five, one, four, six, pattern in my left hand and playing through the blues form.
