    My mistake. I thought you were asking what key to solo in for those songs.

    Umm... I'm missing the point in that case.

    black is in E minor also

    D minor = even flow & red mosquito
    "I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young

    For the record: Most posts saying that a minor scale works are usually talking about minor pentatonic. If you decide to take those to the next level and make them dorian/phrygian or aeolian, make sure you choose wisely based on the key of the song. The great thing about minor pentatonics is their versatility. By avoiding the "passing" notes, you can use minor pent scales correctly 3 different ways.

    I didn't find anything useful there I think. Could you just post the e minor scale in a tab here?
