Well, this thread certainly hasn't cleared up any confusion. Lalimacefolle, you say there's no jazzy scales per se, but then Noticingthemistake mentioned the 'Jazz Melodic minor'. So that is a jazz scale, is it not? Overall, I consider myself a very advanced guitarist and I know scales out of the ying yang but obviously my theory isn't up to par. It could already be the case that I know of the melodic minor scale already, but am not aware of it. This is where some tablature could clear things up. Sorry for asking the wrong question then. Perhaps more appropriately, I should have asked, 'What can I do to make my playing sound more jazz oriented?' Lalimacefolle mentioned arpeggios. Yes, I've heard some beautiful jazz arpeggios before. So, who has some they can share?
I have a second question that is unrelated. When soloing, what is the best way to switch between scales that still share the same root. I find jumping between scales (ie. Phrygian, ionian, mixolydian) doesn't necessarily sound good (despite the fact that they share the same key signature) because they still work with different notes. I guess my question would be which scales flow more naturally between each other? I consider my soloing quite solid, but I'd like to incorporate different scales.
