Kenny Wayne Shepherd KWS Slow Blues Style Backing Track in E Minor Pentatonic
This is a backing track using the chord progression from Kenny Wayne Shepherd's Heat Of The Sun. It's a simple loop that repeats six times lasting approximately five minutes. The chord structure is displayed on the screen with the highlighted chord moving in time with the track. There is no transport bar with this track as it's a simple loop. According to an interview a few years back Kenny tends to play hybrid pentatonic scales with a few notes added here and there to create interest. I've put up simple Em scale boxes but for the more advanced of you out there, it seems Kenny mixes in blue notes with notes from the Aeolian (natural minor) mode. You might want to try this to spice things up a little! For those who want to know the technical nuts and bolts it was recorded in Cubase via a Steinberg UR242. The guitars were recorded using a Fender USA Stratocaster predominantly on the middle pick-up through a Marshall JTM45 fed into a Palmer PGA04. The bass is a Fender Mexican bass di'd straight to the interface. A new feature of the video is colored tiles underpinning the scale boxes to help identify where they live on the fretboard. Let me know in the comments what you think! Hope you enjoy it. :)
