Examples of the Pure Country Jam Tracks

These Country Jam Tracks are not simple boring loops. The tracks develop over time with obvious changes in the playing. Also, keep in mind that along with playing the seven modes of major with these tracks you can also play a major and minor pentatonic where indicated, as well as many other things.

Here are some short examples of the 7 modes. Remember each of these jam tracks can be found in all 12 keys in this course.

• E Major Jam Track: Use Major Scale or Major Pentatonic.
• D Dorian Jam Track: Use Dorian or Minor Pentatonic.
• G Phrygian Jam Track: Use Phrygian or Minor Pentatonic.
• Eb Lydian Jam Track: Use Lydian Scale or Major Pentatonic.
• Ab Mixolydian Jam Track: Use Mixolydian Scale or Major Pentatonic.
• Bb Aeolian Jam Track: Use Aeolian or Minor Pentatonic.
• Gb Locrian Jam Track: Use Locrian Scale

Please note that there could be many other scales superimposed over the Country Jam Tracks. For instance, you could superimpose a D Major Pentatonic Scale over the C Lydian example. That will sound great, but please think of the notes in the key of C not in the key of D. It’s best to think Degrees: D=2,E=3,F#=#4,A=6, B=7.
