How true. I've sometimes thought that having learnt pentatonics early on, it's very easy to fall into solos that are just pointless widdling rather than being properly constructed.
Good stuff.
Southern fried boogie, mixing major & minor pentatonics over a reverse I IV V. What works works.
How about Maggie May by Rod Stewart? Sex and Violence by The Exploited? One of my all-time favourite pieces of music.

Yes, you're using Major-Minor functional harmony, so the Key is defined as the Key Signature of a piece of music, usually written at the beginning of the sheet in sharps and flats, so yes either a Major or a Minor key.
But, with non-functional harmony, including contemporary modal music theory, the Tonic centre can be D Mixolydian and Key Signature can be G.
Even more complex can be Polymodality, where multiple modes are used simultaneously, for example, perhaps a Mixolydian melody with a Ionian Harmony.
No one really cares, as long as it sounds good, which is subjective in itself.
Modal interchange is good too, using different modes, but the having the same Tonic.
Good fun, interesting stuff.
