Ok, here we go. A question in tact before I turn in for bed. Out of curiosity, i was wondering... Instead of using the A minor pentatonic over an A major I-IV-V pattern, I read somewhere that one was allowed to use the A Minor Dorian scale with a flattened sixth instead of the A Minor Pentatonic. The Dorian minor looks like the Minor Pentatonic with the exception of a few notes, but there's a slight problem: A major's Dorian is in B. That's a whole step above! What do I do now when I want improvise with Dorian in mind(1 4 5 blues)? Use it in A minor penta's place with the needed flattened sixth's? Or scrap the Minor penta with it's additional notes from those tricky sevenths from the Major scale and move up a whole step to B dorian?

Guh, back to the books! See if you can shed some light :rolleyes:
