Note the missing notes on the high end of the Blues Scale. The blues scale contains: Root, flat-3rd, 4th, flat-5th, 5th, flat-7th, Octave (Root). The low end is complete. The high end is missing the flat-3rd and flat-5th.

Low: 3+ 3' 4+ 4' 4 5 6+

High: 6+ 7+ 8 9 9+

Now try this version of the blues scale...

High: 6+ 6' 6 7+ 8 9 9+

Experiment with this.
