Some people have told me not to think too scaler, start with somethings like guide tones, 3, 7's and build you're solo up from there. Use different arpegios, neighbor motions, digital patterns, apply some tri-tone subs ext.. Some people have told me to think more scaler, when this chord comes up you have play a c melodic scale or a c blues scale over etc.. What is your opinion on how much theory to know. Do you think it is reasonable to know the major scale modes, bebop scales, synthetic scales? Is it worth the time to learn all of the melodic scale modes or just the melodic scale? What is the most practical approach? It seems overwelming to me to learn all of the major scale modes, all of the melodic scale modes, all of the synthetic scales etc. thanks alot!
