ANSWER
Hi, Nicholas--
The choice of scales is a bit complicated. First, you must know what key you are playing in. Then you need to know what the chords are that you are playing over.
If the chords are limited to I IV V, you can use: --Pentatonic Minor Scale in the same key --Pentatonic Minor Scale in the relative minor Key --Pentatonic Major Scale--same key --Major Scale--same key --Natural Minor Scale--relative minor key.
If the chords are other than I, IV, V, you can use all of the above except the pentatonic minor scale in the same key.
