Thanks for the tip about the relative major/minor. That was really useful!

@kumarramesh46 Haha sorry. Man I don't know exactly how to describe it other than that it's definitely in D because that's the root note of what he's playing. It looks like @Prash713 has the right idea there. I'm not that in depth with theory yet. Just trust me on this :) haha. I have an ear for getting the key of a song just by listening to how the chords interact and it's really not THAT complex, just a matter of listening and being like, "Yeah, that sounds like the root note in the song."

@minaamq I understand that for a 'major pentatonic' scale we would use its 'realtive minor pentatonic' scale, for they are exactly the same notes
e.g.,
if the tune is in the ''key of Cmaj'', we can use the pentatonic ''sacle of A minor'' because it's the same scale
i.e.,
the pentatonic scale of Dmaj is the same scale as that of B minor
the pentatonic scale of Emaj is the same scale as that of C# minor
the pentatonic scale of Fmaj is the same scale as that of D minor
and so on

You can use the Dmajor pentatonic/Bminor - or the Dminor pentatonic/Fmajor or Eminor/Gmajor or Aminor/CMajor :-)

@minaamq nooooo the first chord of the song is Dmaj so u can solo the major D scale or the Dm blues scales which starts in the 10th fret on the low E
now im confused. The progression he's using is Dmaj, Cmaj and Gmaj
If we consider the notes of these 3 chords we see that neither the Dminor nor the Dmajor pentatonic scale fits on these notes.
Its the G major scale that actually fits with these chords. so shouldnt we improvise in G maj or E minor pentatonic?

Hi Marty,, I am in confusion.. Please correct me if i am wrong.. The chords which you played is D major, C major & G major, which means that we are in the key of G major.. Please correct me on this if i am wrong... We are in G major key but playing D major pentatoic run & scale... Thanks.
