1 Sweet Whiskey Blues Jam (G)

We start with a sweet blues jam in G Major. Our old friend GMinor Pentatonic scale (G-Bb-C-D-F) will work, but for those sweet, uplifting vibes, try out GMajor Pentatonic (G-A-B-D-E), the same five notes as E Minor Pentatonic, and add bends, vibrato, slurs, etc.

2  EPhrygian Groove Jam

Next up is a fun modal groove jam (chords: Em-Fmaj7). Use E Phrygian (E-F-G-A-B-C-D) or take a bluesy approach with E Minor Pentatonic (E-G-A-B-D) and E Minor Blues scale (E-G-A-Bb-B-D) to get going on this one.

3 DDorian Jazz-Funk

Here we have a high-energy jazz-funk type of jam, where DDorian (D-E-F-G-A-B C) and DMinor Pentatonic (D-F-G-A-C) are great places to start.

4 A Major Jam

We finish on a groove in A. A Major scale (A-B-C#-D-E-F#-G#) is good, as is A Major Pentatonic (A-B-C#-E-F#) - think F# Minor Pentatonic, but aim to resolve on good sounding notes.
