Which Scale?
I have just read Kirks' forum on improvising and it was very informative, thank you sir. I like to improvise, but as always am drawn back to the pentatonic scale. It seemed to be a little more difficult to use a full major or minor scale (not to mention the modes) and trying to make riffs more melodic. What I am trying to say is, the pentatonic is most comfortable play in a standard 12 bar blues progression for me and other types of progressions because contains all the right notes.
I do see with practice that there are more notes to choose from in full major or minor scales but I have to have a the scales in front of me, (the dots that tell you where to put your fingers on fretboard) for I have not yet learned to to use all the patterns without looking at the scale diagram and make the improvision sound somewhat cohesive.
After all said, and I don't mean to be long winded, do you use a different scale for each chord change or one scale to fit all. I have not read all of the lessons yet in this forum and forgive me if this question has already been answered. Thanks
