Gb Major Blues Scale

The Major Blues Scale is the Pentatonic Major Scale with one added note, the flat 3rd, which slides or bends up into the major 3rd. That rub between the two thirds is the sound of country and Southern rock licks, sweeter than the minor blues. Use it over major and dominant 7th chords, and pass through the flat 3rd rather than landing on it.
