The Blues Scale, or Minor Pentatonic Scale is a fun and easy scale for playing along with blues or rock rhythms. Play this scale ascending, descending, mixing up pieces... any way that feels good to you. Once again, here's my backing track to jam along with.
Notice that in the key of G, it begins on the 3rd fret. Remember when I said to think of the 3rd fret as the "G" fret? Here's one reason why. So to play blues in the key of A, move the whole thing up two frets to start on the 5th fret (the A fret). For D, start it on the 10th fret... got it?
