Latley i began to learn improvisation on pentatonic scales, but one thing about it i cant understand : all the chords that i suposed to play are major , while the solo is in minor scale...
As it seems to me if the scale is minor , the chords harmony should be minor to..
do i get it wrong or something???
P.S the scale was E minor pentatonic
The chords that i used there are E A B7

Anothe thing that i can't understand is:
if i take a major scale and take the 1,3,5 notes of it i get a major chord of this scale.. how can i get the same chord from other (example : minor) scales???
and if i do this to minor scale what do i get??? i mean if i take a minor pentatonic and take the 3 root notes of a chord what would it be??
