Why does this Modulation (pivot chord) not work

Ok so I tried this and failed, my chord progression went C, G7, F, B, A, D7, E and it didn't work. What went wrong?

It's honestly all in the intention of the progression, and how quickly you change chords. Also, the vocal melody is important too. The melody is always king. That's why in jazz all those crazy progressions fit together; as the melody gels them all together.

I played through this, and found replacing the B with Bb sounded better to me. Give it a try. :D

so, you're trying to modulate to E? or to A? i'm guessing E because you through that B in there? the B won't work from the F because it's a tri-tone. but also the D7 doesn't really make alot of sense in either A, C or E. Try "modulating" to a closer key.

I'm trying to get back into the different scales accepelos and theothe scale has a similar name . iI downloaded the first part by lisa McCormick and that wasas far asi could get. These are the scales you use playing the blues [rock n roll] Van morrison, Willienelson , I know all the basic chords and the basics. To be a guitar playerinyour league probably never happen but I woud like to be a proficient player and it could happenwith your instuction. Plus,if you think there might be a good book w/ scales ,transposing etc. . Please let me know. I always seem to miss out on all the special
