Hi all,
I was waondering how on earth i could get a bluesy sound when i'm playing a song in a major key. Do i use any of the minor modes of the key and play the corresponding blues scale for that mode?

In case it didnt make sense i meant say i want to play a song in Cmaj and i want it to have some bluesy sound do i use either A pent, E pent and D pent scales to get the blues sound?

Thanks so much.
