Soloing In C# Minor

In This Lesson We Look At Soloing in C# Minor/E Major

Here is a jam track made with a part of the tripfuse25 idea above.

This chord progression/idea is in the key of C# Minor.  E Major is relative to C# Minor and both keys share the same 4 sharps (F#, C#, G#, D#) Below are a few scale forms in 9th position you can use to play over the progression.

9th Position

The 1st fretboard is showing a 2 octave E major scale.

The 2nd fret could be a 2 octaves C# minor scale if you start on the C#

The 3rd fretboard shows both an E major pentatonic scale and C# minor pentatonic

We make a major pentatonic scale by removing the 4th and 7th degree of the scale.  An E major scale would be:

E F# G# A B C# D#
