Blues Scale:   Major Blues Scale
By adding the "blue note" to the pentatonic scale, the music takes on that familiar bluesy sound. The blue note is normally played as a passing tone, meaning that you do not want to begin or end a music phrase on this note.
Tip: Holding the blue note for too long in a solo can cause an undesireable tone that sounds sour or off key.
