Jam Room: Neo Soul

-JAM ROOM:
For This Lesson I have recorded 3 “Neo Soul Style” Backing Tracks. These backings, have structures with intro, verse & end. Based on a structure of 4 and 8 measures.
I make you suggestions of minor Pentatonic scale over modal scales. But you can play as well Major Pentatonic scale.
I use modal interchange so you can change the scale to use.
I hope you find it enjoyable and please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
