hi AX7221, if you arent playing the blues - what are you playing ?
if your using pentatonics over a 12 bar sequence then you may get a little stuck with anything else - unless its directly related like country , bluegrass , jazz etc.
but it no good trying to tell someone that it may be better to use modes when they may be a little stuck on pentatonic scales !
then going on to complicate things immensely by not making any sense with talks of 'burn out' etc .
with a simple pentatonic scale it is a good thing to learn to 'feel' the music by actively using the scale over a 12 bar sequence(in this case ) and listening to other users of the scale and how they employ the delicate art of dynamics and phrasing into the bundle that they offer. it isnt about the notes you play , it is in fact the gaps in between that count.
but i stand by what i have already said - that is - when using a pentatonic scale , it is always possible to add 2 more extra notes , which can be used in passing to allow the passages which you create to have a more colourful musical palette than if you just stuck to the simplest scale form available - the pentatonic !
