Yes, you could do that. You could also use a root scale; C major would work fine with all of those chords. Am as well, as Am is the relative minor of C major (meaning they share the same notes). There are other modes and exotic scales that could be used, it's just a matter of learning which scales and chords are compatible and sympathetic. I'd recommend getting and studying "The Guitar Grimoire: Scales and Modes" to expand your horizons in terms of scale choices.
Reply:Hi. Great info up above here! I'd only add that depending on what style you are playing, you can also add C blues scale comprised of C, Eb, F, Gb, Abb, Bb, C. Can experiment with bending up toward the blues notes of Eb, Gb, and Bb. Have fun!
Reply:Like El Brian said, you could use all of the modes of C major with those chords, which include A minor, B locrian, C major, D dorian, E phrygian, F lydian and G mixolydian.
