Improv challenge?

In the video. There was tons of scales. Pentatonic major.. minor.blues.. theres definitely more then just the nor al blues positions. That was my question. Qould I stay on the blues or go for minor over a.the videos show a7 and a9 and a13.nothing about a minor.

The blues scale is effectively a minor scale(it has the minor third in it). Crossroads uses moslty chords like A5 and D5 so you can get away with mix ing major and minor if you want to do that

Are you ok to start with this one?

It's effectively a 12 bar blues in Am

Just a little reference

I know I said we could do a gypsy jazz backingtrack now but I just got back from a jam session and I jammed over Gravity by John Mayer and had so much fun so I would like to that one next

I’m in a backing track slump. Anyone interested in picking one out? I always like to hear the different takes on it.

You can try that one

 

[Mikey Anglin]

You can try that one

Did you record your playing over that one?

No, not yet

I can do that tomorrow!

I can also try to explain what I'm doing if you want me to

Sure. To me, it sounded like we take a backing track and record our take on it. Maybe I’m wrong. I am old and slow

 

[Mikey Anglin]

I’d not, I think that would relate some interesting stuff

Yeah thats the idea but I didn't see a lot of participation so I thought we weren't really doing it

I think it’s a great idea. Good for all skill levels.

 

[Calvin Phillips]

Yeah it seemed like usual people showed interest then didnt follow through. It's a great idea then you're right. People just for whatever reason dont actually do it.

Camera shy lol.

If everyone keeps the criticism constructive you can learn a lot. None of us will hear the lead the same way. It would be a great way to expand the horizons

 

[Calvin Phillips]

I'll always give you my honest opinion. It may not be the right one but you'll be able to take things out of it. I will not however insult you or your playing. I expect the exact same in return. If you dont I simply dont read your comments on my posts. I myself went 10 years of playing years wasted so I can understand being shy but you dont really need to show your face. Just the fretboard.

When comments are constructive, we all get better. Hope you didn’t read anything negative in my last statement. Your point is what I was getting at.
