Breaking Out Of The Pentatonic Scale Options

[Jeff]

Hey all,

I need a little advice on breaking out of the Pentatonic Minor scale. It seems that over the years I have gotten so comfortable with it and I use it ALL of the time when I play. I sound like a broken record and I'm frustrated and sick of the same old sound.

For example, pretend that I am playing a basic blues type of song using A, D, & E and I'm playing A Pentatonic Minor. OK, then the song shifts up a couple of frets to another key of whatever. Now, instead of just taking that same Pentatonic pattern and sliding it up two frets accordingly, I want to use another scale. What can I use? I'm probably confusing everyone, but I'm just tired sick of the Pentatonic Minor.

Any guidance on what scales to use in what keys? Any practice tips to break out of the same scale over and over?

thanks!!!
