kevdo242 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 What scales should be used when playing an acoustic ballad. I want to improvise a solo for Tuesday's Gone so what scale should I use for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdo242 Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 Thanks. Do you think it would be a good ballad to play at a gig or should we try something more well-known? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Tuesday's gone is easy, just use sweet sweet pentatonics....thats all Skynyrd ever needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizz Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I'd play it at a gig definitely, as long as you don't murder the vocals, i love that song.I think you could use a simple blues scale to improvise over it aswell although i'm not too much of an expert on the theory of guitar.

The first scale I posted was Gmaj.

bucket13 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Depends if its Major or minor And its useful to know all the scale-key signatures. ex;1 Flat Bb=F Major OR d minor2 flats Bb Eb=Bb Major OR g minor3 flats Bb Eb Ab=Eb Major OR c minorect ect. :krider: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
