Scale suggestions:
A minor pentatonic scale - A C D E G (A)
A minor blues scale - A C D D# E G (A)
A minor scale - A B C D E F G (A)
F7 chords :
F Lydian Dominant - F G A B C D Eb (F)
E7 chords:
A harmonic minor scale - A B C D E F G# (A)
Or
Treat it as an altered chord and use the altered scale:
E altered scale - E F G Ab Bb C D (E)
The altered scale is the mode which starts on the 7th step of the melodic minor scale, so in other words - the notes of E altered scale are the same as those of F melodic minor scale :)
Arpeggios:
Am7 - A C E G
Dm7 - D F A C
F7 - F A C Eb
E7 - E G# B D
Bm7b5 - B D F A
HAPPY JAMMING!
