i just had the best jam of my life.period.

[billingrateS]

For anyone that wants to take the fun to the next level:

CM7 use: C lydian (same as Em aeolian, or minor natural) or C major pentatonic

Bm7 use: B aeolian (avoid the minor sixth on the strong beats, like 1st and 3rd) or Bm penta

Am7 use: A dorian (same as E aeolian) or Am penta

Em7 use: E dorian (same as B aeolian, or Bm natural) or Em penta

Only one note change from chord to chord, but enough to spice things up. If you ever feel lost fall on E dorian or a Em pentatonic.

I can´t resist to play this one complete. pure awesomeness.

[verminzz]

Awesome. Thanks.

[axedude]

this was a awesome. after 20+ yrs of beating up on my guitars. never sure were i fall in the style that fits me best. I love Metal and i dig the blues, but after this track i feel this might be my strength. just playing very melodic over this track i lost myself and felt i was listing to someone else playing. thanx for posting : )

@TheThim51 you tooo!!!!!:D!

[GQube3]

It doesn't matter what notes you hit. Just jam, feel the music! Practice the chromatic scale!

[ACDCwarmachine]

@TheMichaelFairhurst as much theory as i know, i barely use any. i memorized where my chords were in the C scale, and now i just move that accordingly to the key. its extremely easy and as long as you know the shaping of all the penatonic positions, its a breeze. just muscle memory :)

Thanks for the smooth jam! 

[TheMichaelFairhurst]

THANK YOU. To newbies (like me) who have trouble purposefully jamming the chord tones: you can do Emin Bmin Amin Emin - you lose some of the subtlety, but you get to use only minor patterns, only three chords, and double thinking time on the Emin usage. Already feeling the theory sink in...
