i can play the song just fine, but I'm wondering, what do you guys mean when you say, play along with somebdoy on a song? I read some old posts about guys who were playing in a store and somebody else would join in. there's not a whole lot to play extra is there?

Well, when I did that, you basically just riff and make stuff up. You also play along with the other person.

thats the thing about scales, they are just put in front of me. so i know that you only play the notes that have dots. heh, is there something i am missing? there doesnt seem to be any explanation

what? play the notes until you're comfortable playing them...then start fucking around with it and come up with some "licks"...then proceed to rock out with your cock out

i don't know....pentatonic is simple but there's so much you can do out of it...watch some stevie dvd's and 90% of what he does is pentatonic based...so it's all preference...i'm a pentatonic buff (partially because i'm too caught up with rhythms lately to work anything else though)

Pentatonic is a good scale to know, but each scale has a different sound to it. So it depends on what idea your trying to create when you solo (or fill). Minor scales are great too, depending on the song. Personally, I like the Mid-East type scales (not sure what the actual name for it is), becuase you can do some sick bends with them and it sounds great. Best thing is to work your way through all of them and see what sound you like for a particular song.
