Another question: While doing play along with my music (pop, classic rock) I have observed that the scale shapes corresponding to the keys of Bb Major/G minor and A Major/F# minor keep showing up in a lot of songs. I noticed that these keys put the most popular pentatonic scale shape 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3 at the 14th and 15th frets where a lot of intense soloing is done. Is this a coincidence or by design with a lot of artists?

Chris, thanks for your thoughtful reply. Much of what you said is over my head. I'll need to do some further investigation, but that's a good thing. It forces me to expand my horizon!
