I'm trying to brush up on my blues scales.

What I'm looking for is a website or something that has the 3 blues scale positions on it so I can print them off and re learn them.

I tried the ones on guitarknowledge but they didn't print off right,

Can anyone help me out please??!!

One way to conceptualize(and to hit those tasty 3rds and 7ths over each respective chord in a I7 IV7 V7), in, say the key of G, is this. Staying in the same position, over G7 think G mixo, and work a mixo arpeggio. Over C7, think G dorian, and work a G min7 arpeggio, and over D7 think G ionian and work a GMaj7 arpeggio. This is just one possibility to help break people out of playing licks, to work some of the "color" notes, and starting to play the changes, as opposed to playing pentatonics.
