Practice Track: G major ii-V-I

Here is a practice track for beginning and intermediate guitarists – done in a light rock style. The chords are

||: G |Am |D7 |G : ||

Practice soloing over the progression using the G major scale. Some other strategies you might find interesting to play with are

1. Use the arpeggios for G major seventh, A minor seventh, and D seventh over the appropriate chords
2. Use G major (E minor) pentatonic or D major (B minor) pentatonic over the G major chord, and A minor pentatonic over the A minor and D7 chords. Note that all three of these pentatonic scales contain only notes from the G major scale.
3. Mix up arpeggios, pentatonic patterns, and major scale runs.

Enjoy!
