There are some guitar players here, right? A question for you (sorry for interrupting everyone else's footballing :)

Posted by Subversive Sep 20 '15, 15:10

So if I want to solo on a song that's bluegrass/folk/country, can I basically just solo in the major chord of the key that the song is in? I've been trying to find a clear answer on this on the internet, but everybody talks about pentatonic scales, which I think are more appropriate for soloing on rock or blues type music (again, correct me if I'm wrong). In any case, if a song is in the key of G and I want to take a solo break, can I just noodle on the G major scale around the neck?

Haven't played guitar in ages, but..Yes, that should be fine. - tobor.2 Sep 20, 15:13 2
- Yeah, I think *technically* technically the pentatonic scales could work, but - Subversive Sep 20, 15:15 1
  - Depends on how everyone's been playing it. If it's been in the major scale, stick with that. - tobor.2 Sep 20, 15:20
