Saxophone beginners Blues Scales

[half diminished]

Does anyone have an easy or effective way for learning all the blues scales?

I know its: Root, b3rd, 4th. b5th, 5th and b7th.

flexible scales (like mention in the other "how do you practice" post), play around them freely, trying to use as much of the range as possible, it's how I do 'em at least, and besides its fun.

I am making some progress 'by ear'. I'm pretty good with D and getting better with C, F and G.

There is a Jamie Aebersold book "Blues in All Keys" with CD which consists of 12 x 3-4 min backing tracks for each blues scale. Very useful as you can practice one at a time, and gradually play several in one session. Very useful IMHO😎

Kind regards

if you look in any jamey aebersold book there is a page of 10 daily practices

exercise 9 and 10 are blues scale exercises which build on the scale starting with the first 3 notes.
