This jam track features the ii & V chords from the Key of A. Any scale patterns from the Key of A can be used to improvise over this progression. Click here to view or download the Key of A-Key of F#m page from my "Guitar Visualizations" Playbook.

The B minor pentatonic scale is another choice as an improvising scale. You will notice that if you look at the 7th position scale from the Key of A and you take out the C# & G# notes you end up with a B minor pentatonic scale. On pg. 62 of my "Guitar Visualizations" Playbook, I have diagrammed out the "5" positions of the Bm pentatonic-B blues scale. Click here to view or download the B minor pentatonic-B blues scale page.

I have recorded "4" You Tube videos that feature various improvising strategies for this progression. The links to the videos can be found here - Bm7/E9 Jam Videos.

Quote of the Day
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you 'not' to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people the permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-Marianne Williamson
