Very new to playing licks.
When a jam track switches chords, do I switch to a different pentatonic scale to play along? So I would need maybe 3 or so scales to play along?

Hi There,
The original question above, was exactly what I needed to know, so thank you for your comments. So for my benefit, if I was to use the straight up blues ( 120 Bpm ) and then play the notes in the A minor pentatonic scale it will work despite the fact that the straight up blues changes to D and then back to A :
A/// //// //// //// D/// //// A/// //// E/// D/// A/// E7///
This is the bit that confuses me.
Thank you for your fantastic site.

This track is a major blues so you could use major or minor pentatonic, or major chord style phrasing. I’ll try to post a lesson on this over the next few weeks but in the meantime just have some fun playing around with the A minor pentatonic. It’s creates a different kind of sound than major but it’s perfectly Ok with this style of music, many people would use minor pentatonic for a track like this.
Don’t worry about chord changes for now, just use the same scale over the whole track and try to let your ears guide you.
