Re: Pentatonic question
G major pentatonic scale: G A B D E
G major chord: G B D
C major chord: C E G
D major chord: D F# A
The penta scale has at least two notes in common with each chord, so if you structure your solo to land on the chord tones, you can play G maj. penta for the whole song. Generally if you switch to D major (or minor, for that matter) pentatonic over the D , it will sound great. As a rule, never play the Minor pentatonic of the IV chord, IMO. The blue notes will clash most of the time.
