Markey, Right, the country scale is the pure pentatonic, which I referred to above, but thanks anyway.
John, that's fine...everyone has their own way of playing. However, scales are basically "tools".

In other words, when I walk into a jam situation, I want to be able to jam to any chord progression that's thrown at me. Therefore, I pull out different "tools" to get the job done.

Such as, if the key is a minor key, can I play the "Blues Scale"? Yes. Can I play the pure "country scale" no. Why? Because that particular scale is used against major chords.
