    Economy Picking Confidence

    You can always change the scheme of the run so it doesn't begin with a 2 string sweep if you are not feeling confident enough about your economy picking.

    How to figure out what scale to play over a chord progression that isn't in one key?

    Cheers! have fun! There was a reply that mentioned melodic minor. That looked very interesting as well. Adding chromatic notes in between key changes can also result in very interesting colors over your soloing.

    How to figure out what scale to play over a chord progression that isn't in one key?

    You could try grouping the chords from a common key and shift between the keys. Em and Dm both can be found in A minor. Gm and Dbm (C#m) can be found in the Key of G minor. So you would basically modulate to another key in each chord change.

    Legato tips.
