Craig Phillips Guitar Tuition

Got those scales under your fingers? 

Here's some backing tracks in different styles for my students to Jam along with, click on the links... enjoy!

 Rock ballad in D minor:

Soulful ballad, D natural Minor (aka Aeolian mode) will have your guitar weeping in your hands.

 Fast Rock in E :

Not for the faint hearted, Fast rock in E, use E Minor Pentatonic, Em Blues or E natural minor (E major will not work here despite the title)

 Slow Blues in Am: 

B.B.King Style, leave lots of space, question & response playing works really well here.

 Country In G: 

Grab your partner by the hand! G major Pentatonic will work all over this, more experienced players aim to follow the chord changes by Targeting the chord tones)

12 Bar Blues in E: 

Try lots of question and response phrasing, Pentatonic minor/major/blues scales will all work fine here, good use of Dominant 7th arpeggios will highlight the chord tones)
