Hi, when using full scale pattern sometimes the scale of that Chord goes off key from the tonic scale of that key, which way to go then please?

i.e. key of A Major, B minor(2 Chord) scale goes B C# D E F# G(natural) A B

please help

Your videos are great. Simple but just what people need to get good, and confident so that more complex things like boogie woogie can be more easily learnt and put into your hands because you've built the coordination with what seems like simple stuff. But and it 's a big but simple stuff done well is what makes a great player, builds confidence and a love of playing many thanks.

Dan : I have got to the point where I would like to understand the theory behind the few songs i can play  (because i can remember where my fingers go) but dont understand why. After learning the structure of a scale, that whole, whole half ,business, and watching your videos its like a light just went on inside my head.

Thank you so much, your approach is logical, user friendly and musical. All thats left is the practise for the next 10 years.
