Wait...you use the C pentatonic to solo over A major blues? Shouldn't it be over C major blues? I'm something of a newbie, trying to soak in as much as I can. How does that work? Can C also be used over C or G or D blues, etc...? Is there a simple theory explanation? Again - I'm a newbie, so be nice. Hahaha... And thanks for sharing.
You would think that because it sounds correct, but it's really about the specific notes that are in the Scale. The C Pentatonic scale has the notes we need to create the Blues scale we want for the Key of A Major (C-D-E-G-A). The scale Name is not as important as what the notes are. Hope that makes sense.
I would prefer to call it an A minor pentatonic scale ( A,C,D,E,G). The notes come from the C major scale with the F and B absent. To make it a blues scale you add the flattened 5th which is D#. I hope that makes sense.
