Perhaps we could all create a cheat sheet or rules of thumb (rules of fingers) and make a list of what to do when soloing to help each other out. Add to this list or correct if wrong:
Rule #1-
When soloing over a I-IV-V chord progression you can use major and minor pentatonic on the I chord and only minor pentatonic on the IV and V.
Rule #2-
Major phrygian can be used over a secondary dominant that has a minor target chord. ( A7-Dm7, play A phrygian on the A7, Dm pent or Cmin pent on Dm7)
Rule #3
When soloing over a dominant 7th chord you can choose the key the dominant chord acts as the 5 chord and use the pentatonic or major scale for that key. (ex.- G7 is the 5 chord in C major. Solo with c major
Rule #4- your turn to post
