Playing a Bb scale when in G

tom anderson · From: leawood, ks., usa

A guitar playing friend of mine said that if I play a Bb scale while the band is in G for my solo's I will sound less like a white boy. Does anyone have a tab to give me some idea's? I'd like to try it out.

Playing a Bb scale over a G means you are basically playing Flat 3rd, and Flat 7th and a sharp 5th, sort of a bebop jazz scale.

Bb major is the same notes as G minor

I'd suggest an F scale instead. The Eb note of the Bb scale is pretty rare in the key of G.

A D melodic minor sounds pretty good over G (or a D dorian for that matter).

Go to 1st fret w/B & C pedals holding B pedal & rocking off & on C pedal. 3rd string is Bb (flat 3rd), 4th string is root (G) or b7th (F), 5th string is 5th (D), 6th string is Bb again, then 7th string is root (G) again. 2nd string is 6th (E) so use it as needed. Get used to this position & use it for R&R. IT ROCKS!
