Let's say I want to improvise (create a solo) on the pentatonic scale A C D E G:
E||---------------------5-8-|
B||-----------------5-8-----|
G||-------------5-7---------|
D||---------5-7-------------|
A||-----5-7-----------------|
E||-5-8---------------------|
What chords should my friend play along so it would make sense?
What about if I improvise on the blues scale A C D Eb E G:
E||-------------------------5-8-|
B||---------------------5-8-----|
G||---------------5-7-8---------|
D||-----------5-7---------------|
A||-----5-6-7-------------------|
E||-5-8-------------------------|
I'm sure there are a bunch of chords, but what would be some standard/usual ones for beginners to practice?
Also, I often play this scale:
E||------------------------|
B||------------------------|
G||-----------------7-9----|
D||-----------5-7-9--------|
A||-------5-7--------------|
E||-3-5-7------------------|
What is this scale called and what would be suitable chords to play along?
