Find the Blues Scale on Keyboard

The short answer: Find the Blues drills the blues scale — minor pentatonic plus the ♭5 blue note (1 ♭3 4 ♭5 5 ♭7) — across the keys. Points scale with speed. That one added note is what makes a piano line sound unmistakably bluesy.

What the game is

You get a key and find the six notes — the pentatonic plus the blue note wedged between the 4 and 5. The game trains your hands to find that extra note in every key.

What it teaches

• Where the ♭5 blue note sits in the pentatonic.
• Using it as a passing tone, not a landing note.
• The blues scale in every key.

Why it's cool

One note turns a pentatonic run into the blues — the cheapest, most effective upgrade to a keyboard soloing vocabulary there is.
