I played B minor, E minor and F# minor scales to coincide with the chords being played. Is that OK? Sounds more interesting to me. Even major scales sounded good over the minor chords!
Well bending a note is sometimes more by feel of the tune u r playing with but think of it like this this. If you are going to bend a note it should be a note in the scale which is also all the notes n the chords that are played. So if you think 2 ur self that you will us a half bend or a whole bend it is the same as a half step or a whole step movement from fret 2 fret. 4 and example I will use the key of Am Pentatonic. go to the first D note in that scale then go to the octave n bend it to E.
ok...SRV tuned is guitar 1/2 down always... he plays this song which sounds like texas flood in G... but tuned down1/2 sounds like Fsharp on reg tuned guitar.
track could also be sky is crying...which SRVin C or B with reg tuned guitar
If you think about the modes of music,using the f# minor is fine because it is the 5th mode which is Mixolydian and it is a perfect fit with the actual key which is b or Ionian mode!!! SRV loves mixing the 2 modes together Mixolydian mode is used a lot in all his leads!!! Have fun with this,play half of it in your b minor Pentatonic blues pattern then use the same pattern on the f# while mixing in the Mixolydian mode you will see how you can give it a different feel without changing to much!!!
wow these are so legit. they're perfect for improv practicing

It's not F. It's F sharp as the video says. Use F sharp minor pentatonic, it works awesome.

If you think about the modes of music,using the f# minor is fine because it is the 5th mode which is Mixolydian and it is a perfect fit with the actual key which is b or Ionian mode!!! SRV loves mixing the 2 modes together Mixolydian mode is used a lot in all his leads!!! Have fun with this,play half of it in your b minor Pentatonic blues pattern then use the same pattern on the f# while mixing in the Mixolydian mode you will see how you can give it a different feel without changing to much!!!
