This has a feel reminiscent to the Miles Davis track “Jean Pierre”. Great for open-ended, anything-goes jamming in E. It is basically a static E7 chord with some extensions thrown in for “jazziness”.

Here are a few scale suggestions:

The F Diminished scale give you the E Half Step/Whole Step Diminished Scale which is gives some nice color notes against the static Dominant chord.

@jon – I’m glad you liked this jam track. I have a entire lesson and melody based around this track. Subscribe to the email newsletter (if you haven’t already) to stay up-to-date with details about this to come soon.

If you liked this jam, try this track too: http://guitarteacher.com/2008/05/05/rock-fusion-guitar-jam-track/. Different groove but very cool and open-ended with a jazz-rock vibe.

Thanks for commenting!
