Re: Music Theory/scale Help!!!!

Anything can work, if you open your mind!!!!

With a 1 4 5, the most obvious thing is the major scale of 1, as all the chords have notes that derive from that scale. Therefore any modes derived from the 1 scale will also work.

Things like the 1 mixolydian will work, but watch the b7th against the 5 natuarl 7th, they will clash.

Something like the blues scale will work also.
 
Re: Music Theory/scale Help!!!!

play the progretion on a loop and play all the notes you can over each chord, some will sound baaaaadd! some will make it soun spanish or oriental or happy or sad or wierd...etc.
considering that with most simple progretions almosts all (at least 7-8) notes will fit over it in diferent curcumstances...you can just make it up.
even if you only find 4 notes that fit well, you can still make a melody out of it.

as a generalisation theory is a mathmatical guideline that tells us what will sond good, but your ears can tell you this a lot more acuratly

hope that helps
