  2. Play it hands separately. Play the scale slowly up and down with each hand on its own first, naming each note (F♯ – A – B – C – C♯ – E), before putting hands together.
  3. Keep an even tempo. Aim for smooth, even notes. The F♯ blues scale is the foundation for improvising and for the chords built in F♯.
