Think mr sweetwater gots a bingo. Certain scales sound better with correct chords. 1/2 diminish scale dosent work with maj scale . you could be in a mode of maj like the 7th mode would sound great.but then again songs like marry dont you weep. its maj every one isin maj but I have always heard guitarist play minor pent /blues anyways.depends on church and location .Im in minneasota but the church members are from mississippi .We play every thing bluesy/little maj for sweetness gospely bb king king of way ,most folks sing like him maybe cuz.. a number of members are from his home town. there is alot of 7th,9th 13th, diminished,slash chords /bm5 and chords we dont even know the names.Again I highly recomend d latarski book he shows what scales work with what chords. And as far as just playing pent wow thtas all eric clapton and lots of folks do thehey bend up or slide up or down pitch for a dorain note or such. with your pent are you staying on one chord or are you targetingotherchords, Ab one chord then moves to 4chord Db do youthen do Db pent that will up your playing.Idid a experament played after church not targeting long time then a very short time was targeting chord changes and all types of folks came up and said liked what I was doing were as before no one notice even though was playing the same likes
