Hey guys, i was hoping for some advice. I am losing motivation and getting frustrated with scales because it seems as though when I play it with most backing tracks, it just doesn't sound right. I am in the right key, but just, it sounds boring and reduntant and unpleasant in my opinion. I am not an experienced guitarist, but was wondering if you got any tips to get me past this road block. I am currently using only the pentatonic scale. Is there anything I should focus on specifically?

Thanks, look forward to your responses!
