Slow Rhodes

Slow Rhodes

This track is a slow, moody jam with the chords E minor, G major, and D minor. The pace gives you room to explore expressive phrasing and add a touch of soul to your playing.

Suggested Scales for Jamming


• E Minor Pentatonic: Great for emphasizing the darker, minor feel in the E minor chord. It provides classic bluesy tones that suit both E minor and G major.
• A Minor Pentatonic: Gives a bit of an uplifting feel to the mood.
• E Natural Minor (Aeolian) Scale: Then add B minor pentatonic to get E minor scale. Fits well across all chords and brings out the melancholic atmosphere of the track.

Experiment with blending these scales as the chords change to create a smooth, melodic flow. Here’s a helpful resource for exploring the E Natural Minor scale.

(This is just how I approach working out what notes to play, as you can tell I know the minor pentatonic well, so that is how I know the fretboard... I probably should work on it, but hey ho.)
