You need to forget that you know the blues scale (for awhile).
Tell your teacher that you need to learn the Major Scale. And all the chords that go with it.
Then tell him that you need to learn the minor Scale. And all the chords that go with it.
Then ask him to explain to you how these are used to write songs.
Then ask him to explain how the blues scale is part of the minor scale.
The same way you learned the blues scale patterns...you can also learn the minor/major scale patterns. (3 notes per string instead of 2). But now you have 7 pattern shapes instead of 5.
If he doesn't understand any of this - GET A NEW TEACHER.
