Love a bit of Santana? These jam tracks will keep you grooving in that style for days! We'll provide all the scale shapes for you to reference as you jam over the track!
This track is a great excuse to practice your Dorian scales. The classic Santana combination would be using your 5 Pentatonic scales in the key of A minor, as well as your A Dorian scales overlayed. You can think of these as the G major scale across the neck if you like, but root it around and within the A minor pentatonic shapes to really focus in on the correct root note. Here are all those scale shapes.
