I say learn the major and minor pentatonic scales and when that isn't enough start using the frets in between. By then your ear should be educated enough to not need the scales so much.


Years ago a guitar playing friend talked an old old blues band into letting him and I sit in. This wasn't their first rodeo. They kicked the song off and, how about that, it was in the key of F. Luckily I caught it and did my self proud. I guess it was their way of having fun with a couple of young hippies.
