Demystify this often misunderstood concept and start improvising like the pros by mixing major and minor pentatonics
Lead lines that mix major and minor pentatonic scales occur a lot in most guitar genres. It can be hard to understand how this can be the case as would appear to break many musical rules. But remember, the only musical rule that ever matters is 'Does it sound good?'. If the answer is yes, then it's right!
In this video and with the licks in the tab below, we get started with licks of varying difficulty that sound good over the A chord jam.
As soon as we add more chords, things get more complex because what works over each chord can change, particularly over the I, IV and V chords. See the Eric Clapton and B.B. King player study lessons for some great examples of this!
