Jam along Progressions
The following pages contain jam along progressions for all the scales and modes presented in the book. Each progression is particularly suited to the scale or mode written above it. However, there is almost always more than one scale which will fit a chord or progression. E.g., the minor pentatonic scale can be played against any minor key progression as well as Dorian, Phrygian and Blues progressions among other things. Experiment with all the scales and progressions until you come up with the sounds that sound right to you. For a more detailed study of how to play over chord changes, see Progressive Jazz Lead Guitar Method .
There are many scales and modes which can be played against Blues progressions, the most common being the minor and major pentatonic scales and the Blues scale. Other common scales used in Blues are the Dorian and Mixolydian modes. In Jazz, there are many variations on the 12 bar Blues progression and almost any scale or mode can be used against it in the right situation.(For more on playing against Blues progressions, see Progressive Blues Lead Guitar Method , and Progressive Blues Lead Guitar Technique .)
