About Dustin Martin
Expertise
Music Theory Related questions. Harmonizing scales, Chord progressions, Chord formulas, Modes. What scale patterns you should/could play over certain chords. etc... I should be able to answer almost any theory related question and if I don't know off hand I will try to find out. Please Do not ask me any questions about how much your guitar is worth, I am only interested in helping students and those interested in furthering their musical comprehension.

Experience
I have a had 5 years of private lessons with an experienced teacher who has done studio work, worked live, He has taught several students who are now professional musicians, including Madonna's Guitarist. Personally, I have taught classes of students from age 12 to age 50. I have also had 2 years of training at the collegiate level. I've played jazz, rock, classical, country, and plenty of other things That i don't recall at the moment. I've worked as Live Sound engineer, Drum Technician, live guitarist, and some studio work.
Currently I am working at Dark Horse Recording in Franklin, Tn.

Question
Hi, I have a couple music theory questions..
 If I play the A Aeolian scale over chords, and then play the A harmonic minor scale over chords, would I be switching between the key of A minor and the key of A harmonic minor?  
 
 Can a blues scale be played over major7th and dominant7 chords?

Please let me know..
  Thanks,
   Sarah  

Answer
Playing A Aeolian and A harmonic minor would be switching between f# minor and A harmonic minor. If you want to play an Aminor scale it would be considered C aeolian. Blues scales can be played over a major7th and dominant 7th chords. Blues scales are most commonly played over dominant chords.
