Metal Guitar Jam Track #2
I am really digging Wordpress. It is the ‘blogging’ software that I switched to a couple of months ago to run this website but, really, it does so much more. It is an excellent content management system, it has a built in comment function and it tracks popular posts and pages. And the price is right: FREE!
Anyway, I have consistently found my Metal Guitar Jam Track near the top of my most popular pages. Being as this site is for you, today I give you another metal jam track! Again in the key of A minor.
The following scales all work well:
The Phrygian mode adds an exotic character that is cool though it includes a B-flat note that is kind of a clunker against the F chord in the progression.
Any other jam track styles you want to hear more of? Maybe I am missing out on a new popular style? Polka/Reggae/Speed Metal hybrids? Let me know by commenting!

Latin Guitar Jam Track
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!
