KEY OF B EQUALS the B scale meaning that the scale of B major is the heart of our piece here is the confusion say i now use the same B scale only in minor pentatonic. (B,D,E,F#,A, 32232 now this key according to what i have learned should only have 1 sharp F# 1 dagree up is G !!!!! WHAT key of G? shouldn't in still be KEY OF B I used a B scale? how do i know that im supposed to use a B minor pentatonic scale for the most part if the key is G? back to my question shouldnt the key equal my root note B? please put my mind at ease thanks WING.

I thank you for passing on your gift and look forward to more of your theory Thanks again WING You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
