Soloing over Chords and stuff

^Weather you are aware of it or not you will always be using scales.
Why re-invent the wheel, all these scales were worked out centuries ago you may as well use the knowledge.

Maybe rather than just using "the pentatonic scale, major or melodic/harmonic minors"  you could try learning about modes of scales etc.
Check this program out http://www.guitarscalesmethod.com/

Don't worry about  scale patterns too much, just listen to the chords being played and figure out all the notes and all their positions that sound good with them. Alot of people restrict themselves to just using the exact scales, you need to expand on that and play oustide the scales (not outside the key). To use a single pentatonic scale for a whole song (or even multiple songs) is a very non-progressive thing indeed.
Try to be origional and different; play notes throughout the whole neck, not just a single position. Scales are there to help you, they are not by any means a strict guideline on what you have to play in order to sound good.
Music is sound, not numbers.

Heyo,

I'm there's some superbly talented guitar people on this forum, or atleast some with more technical knowledge of music in general that could help me with this topic. I'm sure pianists, guitarists, bassists, trumpeters etc could help me on this one.

I just need some help in understanding how I can expand the melodic-ness of my improvising over chords, rather than having to just wank around the pentatonic scale, major or melodic/harmonic minors.

I feel like my improvising can become sort of stale, and anything "technical" i try to do sounds so obviously part of like a major or minor scale.

Help me guys! I wanna get good
