djohnneay is right, although the last part of his explanation is confusing.
The composition is blues, and it has major/minor based harmony (A major and D major are from A major key, and G major is from A minor key) In the same time the scales in use are A major pentatonic/A minor pentatonic/blues. When combined together you get a lot of notes suitable for both A major and A minor key. Even using A minor pentatonic scale alone will get you the bluesy feel, but all 3 scales are equally important.

Thanks Djohnneay and Ivan. I've now got some homework. So we are really not playing major or minor but blues which is a mix? Is there any more info on this around GMC.

ohh im super late here, sorry didn't saw the thread before!
djohnneay and ivan's explanations are correct tho . when i compose a song or a solo i don't really think on scales or theory, i just sing or "hear" the melody in my head, so didn't really tough of this before, and yeah the chord progression sounds quite major, not sure why the minor penta or the blues sounds good on it, but it's the way rock n roll is Thanks guys for the theory! -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

I really think it has to do with perception. The blues scale has been used so much that it really feels that it fits even on a major context, and it creates this really typical tension associated with rock. I really like it.

Thanks Djohnneay and Ivan. I've now got some homework. So we are really not playing major or minor but blues which is a mix? Is there any more info on this around GMC. Now that you asked - there is! I just completed my new blues series "mixing major and minor patterns in blues". Search it, 3 lessons are on, and 2 more to come very soon, they are already on GMC, but not published yet. If you have some questions about it, let me know. Although it is blues, you can apply the same concept and patterns with any form of music. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
