From Pentatonic To Diatonic: Help Options

[timrobwall]

Some advice needed. I have been focusing for the past several months on mastering major and minor diatonic scales -- really understanding the CAGED chord foundations for these and the underlying arpeggio forms all over the neck. I can visualize these patterns fairly well now. But my problem is "so what." I don't seem to be able to use this knowledge very well in improvising and making music that sounds melodic. I'm not effectively working these what for me are new, non-pentatonic tones into interesting jamming during my practice routine -- let alone during a live performance. Then it's always falling back to same old boring pentatonic bag of tricks and licks. Does anyone have any advice on this subject. Any lessons here that would be helpful. Thanks.
