Minor Key Soloing Ideas pt. 1 Demonstration

A clip of some scale ideas when soloing over a minor 251 pattern in Cminor.
The chords are Dm7b5, G7 and Cm.
Here I am using the altered scale over the G7. This is only one of many options though.

Thanks for the comments!

I am using a 50s (reissue) classic player Tele here going via a Line 6 Toneport into my PC. the backing is programmed into Band in a Box.

Yes, you can use the harmonic minor of C here.

This demo was only one possibility, and I found it hard to stay within the constraint of the scales set out.

I would say learn the scales so you get good at the fingerings and are able to recognise the sounds. Then you can almost forget about them and learn to play melodically. Thanks for all the comments.

what is the "altered scale"?

[hahabass]

I didn't know Chris Moyles played. Sorry, you don't REALLY look like Moylesy.  Well you do, but not in a bad way. Anyways, I will be learning this solo, btw. Thank you. Lovely playing.
