Hi Emanuele,
it's related to the "feel". You can use the A minor pentatonic over an Amin chord, as example. But also over the A major chord. This sounds more bluesy. As general rule if you use a X major pentatonic scale over a X chord you have a kind of "country feel". Using X minor pentatonic over a X min chord is more "rock-blues". Too much words... you must experiment right now  I made a lesson using strictly the D minor pentatonic scale. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...entatonic-solo/ -------------------- ::: Main Gear ::: Guitars: Washburn N4 Vintage | Washburn N2 | Washburn WI67Pro | Washburn WG-587 | Washburn EA20B Amps: Laney GH50L (head) | Laney GS410 & GS212IE (cabinets) | Rocktron PROGAP Ultra (rack preamp) | Rocktron Velocity 150 (power amp) | Marshall VS230 (combo) FXs: Rocktron Intellifex + custom pedalboard (check my video demo) Other: Shredneck | Intellitouch PT10 tuner Picks: Esseti Picks Software & Recording Gear: Cubase 4 | Overloud TH1 | Mackie Onyx 400F | EZdrummer | Korg Pandora PX4D ------------------------------------------------------- myspace.com/jerryarcidiacono Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

There are so many answers for that question- you will find a many of those answers yourself after reading through Andrew's theory lessons here:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=3351 As a quick answer- for using your A minor pentatonic you could use the chords: As a basic power chord approach you could use these chords: A5, D5 and E5 A5-> A5 -> A5-> A5 -> D5 -> D5 -> A5 -> A5-> E5 -> D5 -> A5 -> E5 <and repeat> (this is a typical 12 bar blues form, each chord represents one bar of music, which is 4 beats in this case) Or you could use triads of these chords..which would be A minor, D minor, E minor Am-> Am -> Am-> Am -> Dm -> Dm -> Am -> Am-> Em -> Dm -> Am -> Em <and repeat> For those example using A minor pentatonic would work well. However- i'm a big fan of learning the thoery behind these things..so once you have read through the more basic lessons in Andrew's theory board- i suggest you check out this lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=3630 |
