I7 Chord
- C Eb (E-flat) F Gb G Bb C

First Octave: 1+ (2+) 2" 2' 2 3' 4+
This is fairly complete, we're just missing the flat-3rd.

Second Octave: 4+ (5+) 5 6+ 7+
No bluesy notes (flat-3rd, flat-5th and flat-7th) are available, so essentially there is no blues scale in this range.

Third Octave: 7+ 8'+ 9 9'+ 9+ 10"+ 10+
This octave is complete.

Listen to all of the the MP3s for the 1st Position Studies (1, 2 and 3) and make mental note of what you hear...
