Hey guys! I am excited to start a new collab!!!
It's a funk blues and it has some very cool changes!
A7-D7-C#mi7-F#7-G#mi7-B7-E7
A7-D7-C#mi7-F#7-B7-E7-E7
TEMPO IS 94BPM
You can play:
A major pentatonic


E major pentatonic


D major pentatonic


It would be really cool if you can play chord tones included in your solo!
Here is an example:

A7 chord structure:
A-C#-E-G
Find a structure for other chords and try focusing on chord tones if you want to make all the changes!

You can play any of those chord tones but the most important are 3 (C#) and 7 (G)

You have got two weeks to send your takes!
I am looking forward to hear you play!!!
Please send me PM if you have any questions!

This is pretty tricky to play over.

You pretty much have to change on every chord to a new box/scale

Any tips Alex? I'm struggling to keep up. And can't get my teeth into it.

Good challenge thou!

This wasn't something I was able to jump right into either. After letting the progression sink in for a while I started playing simple single notes that fit over the changes. It seemed to help me get my ears trained for the changes after some time. Its not predictable at all which makes it challenging!

Alex, Would it be possible get a count in to the start of track?
