Super Slow Blues -BMinor We start with a super slow blues jam in B Minor, where the B Minor Pentatonic scale (B-D-E-F#-A) is a great place to start. Next up, try hitting some of the chord tones: Bm7 (B-D-F#-A), Em7 (E-G-B-D), Gmaj7 (G-B-D-F#) and F#7 (F#-A#-C#-E).

GMixolydianVamp Here we have a simple G Mixolydian chord vamp (G-F) that's perfect for exploring G Mixolydian mode (G-A-B-C-D-E-F). You can also add more blues vibes to the scenario though and go town on the G Minor Pentatonic scale (G-Bb-C-D-F).

Reggae Blues Jam (A) This one is a fun blues in A, with a reggae-ish vibe. Mixing A Major Pentatonic (A-B-C#-E-F#) and A Minor Pentatonic (A-C-D-E-G) will get you sounding great.

➍ D Minor II-V-I Groove Jam We finish with a II-V-I practice jam in D Minor. Head for the D Minor scale (D-E-G-A-Bb-C) to get started and then focus on catching some chord tones: Em7b5 (E-G-Bb-D), A7 (A-C#-E-G) and Dm7 (D-F-A-C). Happy jamming!
