G minor pentatonic scale - G Bb C D F (G)

G minor blues scale - G Bb C C# D F (G)

G major pentatonic scale: G A B D E (G)


Then....


G Mixolydian Mode: G A B C D E F (G) - G7 chords

G Dorian Mode: G A Bb C D E F (G) - C7 chords

A Harmonic Minor Scale: A B C D E F G# (A) - E7 Chords

A Dorian Mode: A B C D E F# G (A) - Am7 chords

D Mixolydian Mode: D E F# G A B C (D) - D7 chords

A Dorian and D Mixolydian contains the same notes as G Major Scale!

G Major Scale: G A B C D E F# (G)


You can also treat the E7 as an E7alt chord and use the E Altered Scale...

E Altered Scale: E F G G# Bb C D (E)

E Altered Scale is also known as E Super Locrian - and it's the 7th mode of the F Melodic Minor Scale.
