  • Hi Guys,

    In this lesson I‘ll show you a way to combine different scales in a solo. A good starting point is
    taking a look at each chord, analyzing the structure of it and finally finding a matching scales corresponding to the mode.

    In my spoken video you‘ll find more advices on how to work with different scales.

    Here is the structure of the Jam track:

    A Part 0:06-0:54
    ||: D | % | C | % |
    | Am7 |D/f#| G | % :||

    B Part 0:55 -1:18
    | F | % | Em7 | % |
    |Csus2/Eb |% | G/D | An7 Em7 |

    C Part 1:19 -1:40
    | Bbsus2 C | G | Bbsus2 C/F| | Eb/Ab Gm7|
    | C | % |

    Have fun! ;-)

    Final words

    I tried to transcribe as close as possible. Specially in the Guitar Pro file you'll find all this little extras!
