Superimposing Pentatonic Scales

In today's quick guitar lesson, we will introduce the cool concept of superimposing pentatonic scales over different chords and get you started exploring new sounds over major, minor, lydian, major 7, and dominant 7 chords. This can be a nice way of adding some spice to your improvisations and solos. These sounds have been utilized to great effect by a number of famous players including Eric Johnson, Frank Zappa, John Coltrane, and Kurt Rosenwinkle to name a few. Check out the play along backing track for this lesson here:

Great! How do you use it in a chord progression? Thank you

[dimtim]

Do u play the hole pentatonix with extensions up a half step or just the first box?

[dimerocks]

Is this only useful over ambiguous chords(like sus)/single note drones? Or is this something you could do in a chord progression over say, a B major chord. As in, randomly use one of these over a B major chord? Sorry I'm kind of a NOOB with theory.
