How to Practice over the Drone Track:

The most straightforward application you could do with the drone track is to play any scale or chord or arpeggio you
want with the drone note as a root note.
For example, while the C drone plays, you could play C major scale, C minor scale, C bebop scale or C major chord/arpeggio, C7b9 chord/arpeggio etc...

As you can see, there is enough material to practice and study (maybe enough for a lifetime!).
Another thing you could do is to take a scale and play all the chords that are in it just to see how they sound on top
of the root/key note.
For example, while the C drone plays, you could take C dorian and play all the chords/arpeggios that are in the scale (Cm, Dm, Eb, F, Gm, Adim, Bb).

There are many other things you could do, use your knowledge and imagination and keep going!
