ok...kewl, I appreciate it.
I just needed a basic answer for the guy...
I never use scales as a basis for coming up with solo's so every time somebody asks me a question like this I'm like 'duh... well why don't you just play something melodic that fits the song'. Guess that's what happens when ya learn to play by ear first and learn theory later in life.
I still don't get how some people manage to think about music in terms of numbers and names.
