e.g. Am, Bm, Em, would you use the scales in the key of G or play each seperately.




Well you could just solo in the key of G major, and if you could create melodic ideas well that would be great, but you'd also be sort of ignoring the chord changes. Me, I'd try and emphasize the chord tones of each chord, think about Am, Bm, and Em arpeggios and fill in with more scalar ideas.
