Blues Backing Track

Here is just the bass and drums from my Warmoth Fretted Bass Project song. Hopefully you can jam to this with guitar, piano, or any instrument at all. I strongly encourage guitarists to try this concept out. It is the reverse of the typical way of learning scale shapes at certain frets. In contrast, with this concept the notes become little solar systems with the root as the sun. So the entire fretboard is an open universe to explore. The scale shapes will emerge naturally after a while, nothing has to be memorized.

I include my Chordinator device to demonstrate one approach for some soloing ideas by showing how some Pentatonic scales are derived. I used the 2nd degree of the scale of each chord of the progression to extract the pentatonic scale which works well with dominant 7, blues stuff. Notice that all the notes are diatonic to E mixolydian

To spice it up and convert the Pentatonic to the blues scale add the b5 to each pentatonic scale.

The Chordinator on the left is what I did on bass. For the turnarounds I do a walking bass kind of thing 1-b3-4-b5-5 of the E blues scale.
