The author asks an interesting question which I didn’t see the answer to in his reply: what DO you call this note in the A minor blues scale?
He says you’re only supposed to use each letter once, so am I supposed to call this an E flat and then refer to the following note as an F flat?
I struggle a bit with considering the ‘blue note’ a variation of the fifth - it feels more to me like a variation of the fourth, so is it in fact a D sharp? But then the fourth would be C double-sharp, and the (flat) third would be B sharp… right?

All of that just sounds mad.
