Thanks a million. I appreciate your digging those out for me. I did go through them and I did pick up some of what was being taught. I do think I need to go back to the very start of the tutorials and work my way through them to help a little bit more.

From what I could tell, you can use notes from the Major inside the Minor pentatonics to add a little bit of something to it. Again, I will have to go through the whole series I think to fully appreciate and learn from it.

I guess when I listen to someone play a blistering lead, it seems like I can pick out some of the pentatonic structure but then there will be something in there that seems out of place mathematically and yet fit perfectly for the melody of the piece.

Does that make any sense at all? Sorry if these seem like idiotic questions but I this stuff confuses me to know end.

But I keep trying! :D
