It goes too fast for me,
so please tell what scale does he mean by Blues in B ?

This: http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/guitar_scales.php?qqq=FULL&scch=B&scchnam=Pentatonic+Minor&get2=Get

or does he starts on the B, 7th fret, in the E Pentatonic Minor scale:

B Pentatonic minor and B Blues (which is B pent minor with the addition of the flat 5, which if F in this key).

He's mainly using B minor pentatonic and B Blues scale, but he's probably playing it by ear, rather than thinking about those patterns. He's also not really connecting with the B7 chord... would probably want to get the major 3rd in some of those lines somewhere... playing B major blues scale or a little E Major scale or something like that would get him there... but the trick is to be playing your way through those chords, not playing your way through scales that you try to fit on top of it.

I understand that with the
A major and A minor I have a good start to cover most Blues and Rock lead playing,

with the B minor Pentatonic I can play along with the Youtube file as a example.

Thanks guy's your a great sport.

He is too fast for you? Hmmm. I thought he was kinda sloppy and pretty much did all the standard stuff. Nothing real inventive there.

Sorry, didnt mean to rag on the guy.

Thats alright Dick,

For me as a starter it looks impressive, if I could learn to play lead like that it would be a stap forwards.

I thought the same too when I watched it but thought "geez we all started somewhere". :)
