Well, a "blues" scale is traditionally a variant of a minor scale. So what you really want is the scales and chords that play well over G minor.

G is the VI of the E major scale, so you can play it over E major and be OK.

for example the pentatinic blues scale in G, if I'm gonna solo that over just a normal blues (or maybe rock) song then which one should I do

Well that depends I guess. Which pentatonic form? Do you want to play only in one "box?" Does it fit the song you're playing to do that?

should I put a barre on the lowest fret and just play the notes from there or should I hit each note as i go, or does it matter?
