The true Chicago style blue's are usually played in the next key signature over on the wheel of fifths' as written, i.e, a 'C" blue's is actually in the key of F . Jazz use's same key signature, it's not in mixolydian, it's in Ionian mode, the same key signature. A C blues is in actual C major.Just add the dominant 7th over it. It's a tough concept most rock electric guitarist's struggle with early on .

[@TeachingJazz]

Interesting, thanks. I wonder if with blues it is better not to even really think in terms of key signatures and conventional modes as they are based on standard Western harmony whereas blues harmony really is its own distinct thing. In my mind, I always think of major keys, minor keys, modal, and blues keys.

Great video dude!!

[@TeachingJazz]

Thanks Chris, appreciate it!

[@admiralrover74]

Can this Scale be use on Hardbop Jazz Standards like " Moanin' " and "Dat Dere"?

[@TeachingJazz]

Those are both in minor keys so it would sound better to use the minor blues scale (aka "The blues scale") if you want to play a scale over those chords. Or, for a really nice alternative try that plus the minor bebop scale. These two videos explain it and go through step by step: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpiUmH2Xfdhml68 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpuYpoV6eaxoqNE.
