    Hi Emil, thanks for the nice lesson! As country music is also full of minor chords, I would like to ask what scales one can use over them. Just e.g. A minor pentatonic scale over A minor? I tried that and it works. But are there some other possibilities? Thanks a lot! Bests, Rostislav

    I've been looking at the mixolydian scales for Country Guitar Soloing Concepts. Confused? I am! The shapes seem relate to other modes ie. diagram 3 = Aeolian --- diagram 4 = Locrian etc. Any clarification would be most appreciated. Thanks
