What is the Blues scale?
The blues scale is the minor pentatonic with one extra note, the flattened fifth, usually called the blue note. That added note is passed through rather than landed on, and it supplies the tension the style is built on.
Dis Blues is a scale, not a key. It has no key signature of its own — music that uses it is normally written in the key signature of its parent scale, with any extra accidentals added as they occur.
