Dear All,

If I am attempting to come up with a melody using the A major scale and the key of the song I am improvising over is in the Key of A will the A major Scale notes still sound good over the minor chords in the key of A? Or do you have to change the scale to account for these chords?

Also should you match the scale with the key of the song ? E.g. If song is in key of c, improvise using c major scale ?

Thanks
