Scales to Play Over A#5

Every chord is a subset of several scales: any scale that contains all of a chord's tones fits over it. Pick a chord to see the matching scales from its own root, the major keys the chord belongs to, and full fretboard diagrams for every scale on guitar.

A A#5 chord contains the notes A# – F. Any scale that includes every one of those 2 tones fits over it — from the root A#, that means A# Major, A# Natural Minor, A# Melodic Minor, A# Harmonic Minor, A# Major Pentatonic, A# Minor Pentatonic, A# Blues, A# Rock 'n' Roll, A# Dorian, A# Phrygian, A# Lydian, A# Mixolydian, A# Dorian Bebop, A# Mixolydian Bebop, A# Half Whole Diminished, A# Spanish, A# Gypsy Major and A# Gypsy Minor. Start with the first scale listed: it is the most common choice, and the others color the same chord tones differently.

A#5 is also diatonic to 6 major keys: A# major (relative minor Gm), C# major (relative minor A#m), D# major (relative minor Cm), F major (relative minor Dm), F# major (relative minor D#m), G# major (relative minor Fm). In a song from one of those keys you can also solo with the key's own major scale or its relative minor pentatonic across the whole progression, not just this chord.
