Pressman,
The best approach, but not necessarily the fastest, would be to study theory, in particular chord voicing and construction. Once you understand how chords are constructed and how to put them together, everything else falls into place, as far as how to solo over them.
Its more valuable to understand what you are playing than to memorize scales, if in fact, you want to advance as a musician, and it frees your mind to be a lot more creative.
On the other hand, if you just want to doodle a bit, google 'eastern scales' and you'll probably find everything you need to play eastern sounding bits.
Do both, preferably.

Fly, nice one mate…Cheers enjoyed reading your reply spot on...
Pressman, another food for naught is once your inner feeling shifts into Eastern vibration wave’s mode it comes from the earth waves onwards into and through your body. Before long your heart sends out the proper musical DNA strings which are release through your fingers. It becomes a natural depending on how much you “OPEN” receive and release.
Truly a blissful style and I am sure you will blow my socks off one day soon...
This is a good thread to share your thoughts for there are lots of experience musicians and guitarists willing to share and explore together…
Peace and Keep Zee Faith
