If you're talking about just playing A minor pentatonic, that's the wrong scale for the E7 chord. The A minor pentatonic has a minor seventh, but the E7 chord's major 3rd is the major 7th of the A scale... so you either want to use A harmonic minor or use the minor 7th (G) over the A chord and the major 7th (G#) over the E7 chord. Maybe that's what the neighbors are trying to communicate by banging on the wall.
Love this! I only recently started practicing improv, following chord tones is really hard. With only two chords, at a moderately fast pace this is just what I needed though. I played over this in A Natural minor (over Am) and A Harmonic minor (over E7). Very easy scale change, too, since it's just the 7th being raised
Literally just learnt a few chords and after the Pentatonic lesson in the other vid.....I'm feeling like a rockstar.... thanks man....I'm encouraged to continue learning
This is fun. You can play Am stuff over Am (pentatonic or whatevs) and over the E7 you can play E harmonic major (b6 and b7). If you play the G in the Am chord and move it to G# for the E7 it sounds nice. I'm not a professional, just a noodler!
When you're playing "in a key" which is like 99.9% of western music, that means you've chosen a particular scale to build your chords. The (I) chord is the chord based on the 1st note of the scale and the (V) is based on the 5th note of the scale. I teach this stuff on my Patreon! Check it out!
I m using am penta for I and em penta for V. I will stay with this scales untill i can make sense of them across the fretboard You can leave at comments different ideas that sound well. Already people talk about em harmonic because of the of the 7 on e. Let's do some practice.
Try "A Harmonic Minor" on the E chord, because it is found in that key. The scale looks like: A B C D E F G# A But emphasize the E, G#, and B in your solos (only over the E chord) and it'll sound nice!
Im a bit confused by those roman numerals from I to V. First I though its the scale patern number but from google images it didnt seem like it. So if I got this right, I is G shape, IV is C shape V is D shape etc. ? And if there is a jam track like this one, i must switch those chord shapes whenever the number changes in the video ? I just learned pentatonic scale + connecting those shapes together. So this is really confusing. Its basically a lot of informations.
Hi! So, there is music theory that applies to all instruments, and then there is guitar-specific language about how to apply that theory. The Roman Numerals refer to chords in the key of A Minor - "i" is the 1st chord in the key, with A as the root note. It's an A Minor chord. "V" is the chord based on the fifth note of the scale, E.
There is a reason I have whole courses about music theory - it's difficult to explain in a short comment reply. Check out my Patreon for a month and you'll find the answers to all your theory questions. It's $12 a month www.scottpauljohnson.com
Those are the Roman numerals for the chords of the scale: 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 become: I, II, III, IV, V. Now, the convention is to write the minor chords in small Roman numeral and the major chords in capital. Here the jam track is a chord progression of the first and the fifth chords of the A minor scale. So all together you can summarise it as: "Am i-V Jam track." Hope that helps :)
Although your backing track has sick groove, your heading is misleading. In a minor scale, i, iv, v are all minor! So Am, Em are diatonic chords of Am scale. I was searching Am backing track to practice my soloing, and this threw me off.
All goods! I completely understand, thanks anyway. I just love this melody that you've created! Not to mention how easy it is to solo using the A minor scale.
Love going back and forth to the relative minor and major scale during a jam track. that three fret rule works in both directions in most cases. throw in major and minor scales using single strings and you are all over the fretboard.
@@burnhamny what does that mean if you could explain please? Because what i thought was that all the notes in the c major and a minor are the same so why wouldn't the c major scale work perfectly fine with no problems to an a minor jam?

Been practicing my pentatonic to this. I think the neighbour's really like my guitar playing because they are banging on the walls to cheer me on!

Here for pentatonic scale practice
we're all here from that pentatonic tutorial 😂
Same here 😂😂😂
Who isn’t???
I'm here for sleeping actually
Yep... I sleep to jam tracks
@@sanchithjayasekara566 They actually are pretty good to sleep to, bro. Life hack unlocked all thanks to you.
Any other beginners who are using the pentatonic scale horribly to this lovely jam track
Bruh fr, i'm out here desecrating the pentatonic scale in it's entirety trying to solo.
not really straight up A minor pent. scale so it is kind of misleading when it hits the E7 Just use A harmonic minor your just adding the G#
i adore this backing track....that 10 mins just flies right by when you're in the ZONE!!!
Came here from Scott Paul Johnson video of caged system, must watch
Hey Scott. These are fantastic. This one in particular really helped with some of the CAGED stuff. Please Please please keep them coming!
Whelp. This track made me feel like a fuckin rock star. Great stuff.
Groove = rock
Really fun great sounding groove to practice over a simple I-V!!! Love your work. Thank you!
The ad popping up in the middle very time really fucks the entire vibe every time.
Download it as mp3 from browser then
Bro
And be thankful for putting it up here

really good track for practicing playing between the changes or "through the changes" as Josh Smith might say
Great Track Dude! keep on rocking!
@SPJ Jam Tracks could you do a D minor jam track?
Really great jam track. Thanks!
Your backing tracks are great. Would you please do this one with an E minor? Thanks.
very nice. thanx!
How do I play the first 4 seconds
Appreciate. It's helpful on my minor cadence practice :)
men i like those amazing track this one particulary thanks
isnt the five chord in a minor scale a minor?
in Natural minor, yes! In Harmonic minor - no! I'm editing a video about this for my Patreon right now.
This is fun. You can play Am stuff over Am (pentatonic or whatevs) and over the E7 you can play E harmonic major (b6 and b7). If you play the G in the Am chord and move it to G# for the E7 it sounds nice. I'm not a professional, just a noodler!
love it ! finally I can play something. thanks
Still can’t find myself at soloing i have the scales but still none is musical any advices plz
i love thisss
E7 what does the (v) represent & Am what does the (i) represent .........newbie Thanks!

smooth
first time trying improve w the a minor pentatonic scale(one of 2 scales I know) and you know... it wasn't horrible
A harmonic minor works well over this. A B C D E F G# A. You're welcome.
Oh shit i jammed my ass of to this :3
Thank you!
Sick
sexy little latin vibe or something

@@SeattleJamTracks Yess! E is the root of the chord, G# is the 3rd degree and B is the 5th degree. I ll try! Thnx
Thanks
Cool!!
Practicing the diatonic scale now 😳

The Harmonic scale in the key of A minor
It's fun to go back and forth on G and G# on the E7 though. it has a cool sound. like a suspension of sorts
O.75x speed for the win until my fingers catch up with my brain.
Lol..I wrote a song with lyrics to this bit..yes all 10 glorious minutes..its about a girl and a guy and money and...i'll post soon..
Where’s da fuckin song ya wank
New @ this . What does the letter in the ( ) mean ❓
Thanks
Just the chord in the scale. A is one Roman numeral. B is 2, C is 3, D is 4 and so on.
What does i and V means?
Those are the Roman numerals for the chords of the scale: 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 become: I, II, III, IV, V. Now, the convention is to write the minor chords in small Roman numeral and the major chords in capital. Here the jam track is a chord progression of the first and the fifth chords of the A minor scale. So all together you can summarise it as: "Am i-V Jam track." Hope that helps :)
Don't know how it works but thank you for the info
Sounds like a marco tune
Lovely!!!

I was searching Am backing track to practice my soloing, and this threw me off.
I should have labelled it harmonic minor! Sorry about that
@@SeattleJamTracks well, you can edit the title even now.
Is this track copyrighted? I'd love to use it in one of my songs!
Hi Casey! I'd prefer that you not use it in a song, but what did you have in mind? I'm glad you like it!
All goods! I completely understand, thanks anyway. I just love this melody that you've created! Not to mention how easy it is to solo using the A minor scale.
Protip: If you play the C major scale, it works perfectly for this.
The G in C major doesn't work in the E7, it needs to be a G#
Love going back and forth to the relative minor and major scale during a jam track. that three fret rule works in both directions in most cases. throw in major and minor scales using single strings and you are all over the fretboard.
only if you play an augmented fifth once the e7 is playing
@@burnhamny what does that mean if you could explain please? Because what i thought was that all the notes in the c major and a minor are the same so why wouldn't the c major scale work perfectly fine with no problems to an a minor jam?
