the 4 play if yer tasteful. the flat third is the
'identifying' characteristic of all the oldest blues.
the flat 5,5, and 6th is deeper blues...if yer
careful ya can flavor it with the flat 7, maj 7, then
octave, which is essentially wut hendrix did in that
tune. check out ...

-----2---3---4-2----1-----

this is C ....blues...ya got yer flat 5th( F
and yer flat 3rd ( Eb) ya see? blues likes to
play with the 3rd..flatten it ...even HALF flatten
it ( stretch the 2nd halfway to the flat third)
same with the 5th..flat it...play the 5th sharp
and ya get another flavor....
if yer only playin the notes in the key its bland.
by playin around tastefully ya get to break the rules
with a big smile : )
