Use the root note of the second scale down as your basis for understanding what key your In being on the A and these being minor pentatonic shapes these will wrok in the key of A minor, move them accordingly up and down the fretboard for other minor keys.
Just play those over something like house of the rising sun and it should fit, Easiest way to solo is through your minor pentatonics.
Give it a try.
