This practice track provides a finger style blues rhythm backing, ready for your improvisations using the E minor pentatonic scale. The chords are
||:E7 | |A7 | : ||
You can also try combining the E7 and A7 arpeggios over the appropriate chord, to augment the minor pentatonic. There is plenty of room for the so called “blue” notes in this style – the b3 (G), the b5 (Bb) and the b7 (D). Experiment with hammer on’s, pull offs, and combinations of hammer ons and pull offs, using them to lock into the triplet feel. Bends and reverse bends sound good on the b3 (G), the 4 (A) and the b7 (D), but stick to reverse bending the A on the A chord!
Play with these ideas, and ideas of your own, and explore what sounds good to you!
