Have studied from your book, got this scale down. Up until today I’d study a minor and play it over that or C major scales… then I read that I can use a minor over its self or the major of same root (A Major). I had no idea, thinking I could only use the minor scale as the relative minor.
Do you have teaching materials that would teach me how to use minor scales in this way, now that I understand how to find roots and move around the fretboard?
id like to learn how to use A minor pentatonics with A Major, etc. Thanks for any direction!!!
Merry Christmas as well
Sincerely
Bert
Hi Bert.
Not sure if I completely understand what you are asking but I assume you mean mixing the minor and major pentatonics over the same chord progression – for example, A major chord progression Amaj, Dmaj, Emaj – using A minor and/or A major pentatonic over it?
Using minor pentatonic over the major (or dominant) progressions is quite common in blues and blues-based rock.
I talk about this in my Pentatonic Workshop Course (over on Soundslice) but I don’t think in any great detail, I can’t quite remember. If you already have my Pentatonic Fluency book then you can get the course for a discount. Details at the bottom of this page, above the comments.

Merry Christmas to you too 🙂
