Standard tuning isn't really considered a scale as far as I know so I am not following your point there.

I'm starting to see part of the problem. I'm trying to turn scale degrees into a literal translation of the fretboard. Simply, I'm misinterperating the blues scale. I have enough lesson material in front of me. The answer is here somewhere. Will have to slow the video down and watch closer.
