Improvising an A minor blues scale with your right, like you did before, (Demonstration) but the left hand is playing the A7th.

Remember the blues scale in A. A, C, D, E flat, E, G, A. (Demonstration) Play A7 and let it hang and improvise with the blues scale. (Music playing)

Going minor slow blues, as I mentioned before, you can also use a 1-4-5 chord sequence using minor chords instead of major chords. Just flat the 3rd notes of each chord and play a lazy, slow blues. Play the chords with your left hand so you can improvise blues with your right. It would be A minor 7. (Music playing)
