Here's a brand new practice backing track for those of you who love jamming and want to improve your major scale and major pentatonic improvisation skills!
Get those Curtis Mayfield, Steve Cropper and Nile Rodgers licks out!
Key = E Major
Chord progression:
A section
II: E A I E :II
B section
II: Amaj7 I G#m7 I F#m7 I Emaj7 I
I Amaj7 I G#m7 I F#m7 I B9sus4 :II
Arpeggios:

Amaj7 - A C# E G#
G#m7 - G# B D# F#

Scale suggestions for improvisation:

E major pentatonic - E F# G# B C#
(remember you can think C# minor pentatonic if that helps!!!)
To get more bluesy about it:
