Latin Minor Bossa Guitar Jam Track

August 18, 2008 · Filed Under Audio, Jam Tracks · Comment 

Here is a cool Latin Guitar Jam Track that I think will appeal to fans of all guitar styles. It is a ‘bossa’ style groove, a very common latin-jazz feel. It stays on one chord, Dm7, throughout. Rock players will probably dig playing Carlos Santana inspired licks against this one.

Here are a few scale suggestions:

The E Minor Pentatonic scale is a great substitution against this Dm7 vamp, implying the Dorian mode. The Rule: Against a minor 7th chord, go up one whole-step and play that Minor Pentatonic.

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:

C Major 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!
