Hey guys.
Sorry for the long post, but I'm not the best writer here.
I am a little confused. I understand how scales work in that you use them for feel. I guess I don't totally understand the rules.
So, If I'm using a progression of chords, say my first chord is an arpeggiated chord of an A minor and I also use the A string open, (Notes: Open A string, then E, A, C on the D string, G string and B string respectively, then I go to the E minor with the notes E open, then the B on the A string, and then E on the D string, and the with the added open G string, and this chord of course is also arpeggiated up and down so many measures and then return to the A minor chord and I do this over and over in say a 4/4 timing. Now, I want to play lead. So, I know I know I have the following notes in my Rhythm.
First Chord: A minor with the open A so the notes are: A, E, C,
Second Chord: E minor with the open G string and the notes are E, B, A, and G
So, when the playing of the A chord is being played, I can play any note in the A minor scale and use any mode as long as it uses the correct notes that are contained in the A minor scale? I'm just starting at a starting point and using different intervals? Same on the E Chord correct? Correct or incorrect? I hope I'm correct, because I will really shudder to think I've got this wrong! LOL. Please explain if I've got it all wrong.
Thanks so much. You folks rock!
Regards
Tim
