FCTR: Basic Scales for Improvisation

In this video we cover three basic scales used in improv solos in pop, blues, rock, country and bluegrass. Matt defines the Major pentatonic, minor pentatonic and blues scales and explains how to find them in any key (using the numbering system we outlined last week), and also how to apply them over chords, depending on musical style. Drill these scales in all 12 keys and you'll be able to step up and create a solo on the spot on most blues, rock, country or bluegrass songs!
