I'm still slightly puzzled though. Would not the same rules that you described for the Pentatonic minor and the Blues scale apply to a scale like the Dorian Mode (or the minor Jazz scale as it's sometimes called)? This scale/mode has the same notes as the Pentatonic minor but with an added 2nd and 6th note/degree but sounds absolutelty awful over Major chord progressions. :confused:

Thanks for the reply - that makes a lot of sense. A lot of books and articles just seem to gloss over the fact that these are minor scales being played over Major chords.
