I found some graphics over at yellowbookguitar.com, the scale book which shows the 5 patterns of the blues scale, but not in the context of a particular key.

I worked the images and made a single image of the 5 positions for the blues scale patterns in G. I'll be doing some other ones down the road, but for now I figured others might be able to benefit from the image.

Enjoy! If anyone sees anything wrong let me know :)

Hey thanks for the scales progrmr. I'm trying to learn some lead licks, this will really come in handy.

The first one was in E and A too.

?? The root note in the first one is G - help a scale newbie understand your statement...surely G, E and A don't share the same notes right??
 
Move all the little dots up two frets higher, it's in A, move them down three, it's in E.

Oldguy gave the answer. You only need one set of patterns. Just move them up or down as needed.
