I have a hollow body semi accoustic Rockburn ES Jazz guitar,at the moment i have electric guitar strings on and it sounds crap.As its a semi accoustic,surely it would be better with perhaps accoustic steel strings so it can be played accousticaly and allowing the magnets in the pickups to detect the strings,am i right? thanks in advance.

So as this is the A Minor Pentatonic starting on the 5th fret i can add any of the other patterns to it by leaving this pattern and joining the next on the route note of each patttern? so in effect i can play pattern one and join pattern 2 at the 8th fret together and so on and its all A ? I can then move pattern 1 allong 2 frets and i am playing the B Minor Pentatonic and can join pattern 2 to this at the 10th fret and still be in B and so on? Would this make it possible to play in any key just by moving all the patterns along but still playing the same sequence of patterns?

I hope you can all follow this as i have been experimenting with scales for ages and cant get any positive answers,thanks for any help and if you cant understand what i have put then please ask me to explain again as its high time i had this nailed.Thanks in advance,very much appreciated.
