That's basically it man. If you play F# minor pentatonic, F#-A-B-C#-E, those are the same notes as the A major pentatonic scale, A B C# E F#.

Yeah, both scales have the same notes, but be sure to visualize the root of the scale that you are playing.

Nice, starting to understand theory a bit more smile.gif so as long as you emphasise certain notes like if I keep returning to the A note to emphasise the key of A that keeps it sounding in the right key? If the key is in A.

That's basically it, but it's more the chord you are playing over. If you use those notes over F#m then it'll sound like F#m. but if you keep the same notes and the chord changes to A, it'll sound like A.

Try putting on a backing track that changes from F#m to A every 4 bars, and solo with the F# minor pent scale to hear how the notes stay the same but the sound changes when the chords change underneath your solo.
