I don't a whole lot because I don't play the blues a lot either. Take for example the A Blues: A, C, D, D#, E, G, A. And now look at the C Major Blues: C, D, D#, E, G, A, C. They both have all the same notes. The only difference is the root. The root, which is the reference point. So if I'm playing in A Blues I might inadvertanly switch my reference point to C, so I would be playing C Major Blues. But I may not realize that my reference point has switched, I would just like the way that it sounds. So I wouldn't make a huge disticntion b/w which I am playing at any given time. But for the record I like the minor sound better

If you learn how to play songs, then you learn songs. If you learn how to improvise, then you learn music.
