I love using the pentatonic scale. It's so easy to move fast and it has such a quick range of strings.

Soo... A major scale is f # minor??? Right?? I don't do theory i solo and improvise by ear

[guitarnuttty]

im a bit stupid coz i only just learnt the difference after 5 years ! i no stupid but when i solo to backing tracks , when they say minor , the minor scales sound awful but then if i play a major scale along to the minor backing track it sounds awsum. is it just a wrong listing or is it me being a noob to scales ? and sorry if ive alredy posted this ! my youtube is glitchy
