Hey, six-stringers! In the change over to the new website format I know alot of the old content is now unavailable. I will repost old favorites as I can with plenty of new content to come!!

Today’s post is a looping jam track with a Santana flavor.

You can play standard rock and blues licks but the track’s use of the Fmaj7 chord strongly implies the Phrygian mode.

Instructions

1. Press play on the audio player above (Adobe Flash Player needed).

2. Solo over the backing track (audio will continuously loop).

Try this scale:

Other suggested scales:

• E Minor Pentatonic/E Blues
• E Phyrgian
• E Half-Step/Whole-Step Diminished Scale

Suggested Listening:

• Carlos Santana
• Al DiMeola
• Larry Carlton
• John McLaughlin

Have fun!
