This is also the scale that most of the solo can be improvised over: C Blues Scale:(starting partway up the neck at the 5th fret) 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 E-|---|-X-|---|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-|-X-|-X-|---|---|-X-| B-|---|-X-|-X-|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-| G-|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-|-X-|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-|---| D-|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-|-X-|-X-|---| A-|---|-X-|---|-X-|-X-|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-|---|---|-X-| E-|---|-X-|---|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-|-X-|-X-|---|---|-X-| by incorporating different bends, runs, trills, etc. This is a very powerful scale. Just improvise your ass off.
