Thank you! I have a question. When I play minor with my left hand it sound better if I play the blues major scale but when I play major with my left hand it sounds better with the blues minor scale. How come? Greetings from Sweden.

I think I see understand your question and you are on the right track but not quite right. When you are playing minor blues you can not play a normal (major) blues scale on top. It's going to sound completely wrong. However, if you are playing normal blues (major) then you can play both normal blues scales and minor blues scales. Weave in and out in between them and it will sound very cool. You won;t want to play exclusively minor blues scales over the normal blues. You will want to mix them, major and minor. Hope that helps.

Forgot to mention, I played piano bars for many years in Sweden back in the late 1980s - early 90s. Piano bars were quite popular in Norway and Sweden at that time and I had some nice times and met a lot of wonderful Swedish folks around the piano.
