If a song is in the Key of A minor or C major, I use the C major/A minor scale to solo along to. Because the Major and Minor scales are simply modes of one another- they the the same patterns on the fret board but with different root notes.
So if songs are in the key of Major or minor.. How and when do you get songs in the key of A blues.. or C harmonic minor?
Im about to learn a whole lot of new scales but dont know how to incorporate them into songs.
As far as i can see every Guns n Roses and Aerosmith song uses just major or minor scales!!
Take knockin on heavens door, G D C, Is it possible to play another scale over these chords? like the harmonic minor scale? (ive heard its good)!
