Blue note. Origins and meaning[edit] Blue notes (in blue): ♭3, (♯4)/♭5, ♭7 The blue notes are usually said to be the flattened third, flattened fifth, and flattened seventh scale degrees.[3] The flatted fifth is also known as the sharpened fourth.[4] Though the blues scale has "an inherent minor tonality, it is commonly 'forced' over major-key chord changes, resulting in a distinctively dissonant conflict of tonalities".[4] A similar conflict occurs between the notes of the minor scale and the minor blues scale, as heard in songs such as "Why Don't You Do Right? " and "Sweet About Me". In the case of the flattened third over the root (or the flattened seventh over the dominant), the resulting chord is a neutral mixed third chord.
