As I was looking for some notes in my files, I stumbled across this exercise. Use an Am or C major scale to improvise a solo. (Chords only 1 slash/beat)

a) (D Dorian)

Dm///Em///F///G/C/Dm///Em///G/C/

b) (E Phrygian)

Em///Dm///Em///Dm///Em///Dm///F///G///

c) (F Lydian)

F///G///Em///F///F///G///Em///C///

d) (G mixolydian)

G///Am///C///F///G///Am///C///Dm///

e) (A Aeolian)

Am///Dm///Em///G///Am///Dm///G///Am////

f) (B Locrian)

B*///B*///Am///C///B*///B*///Am///F///
