Ya'all realize...

C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am and one more. B something. Diminished?

Those are the triads. If you add one more note to each you have the 7th chords.

ie.

C maj7
D min7
E min7
F maj7
G dominant 7 (G7)
A min 7
B 7b5 (also called half-diminished)

Except it's Bm7b5 not B7b5.

Okay, well we're at simple shit...
here's a simple bass+drum loop with the Bass going from A to E.
Try this over it...
Over everything you can-depending on how you look at it-either play C major, making the progression Am to Em
G major making it Am to Em
D major making it A7 to Em
Amajor making it A to E7
of course A minor and major pentatonic as well as Eminor pentatonic or a mix of all the above will work just fine.
Just remember to play to how the bass changes, in other words don't ride the A note over the E, unless that's what you really want.
Here's the loop...

Here's my attempt

I chose A7 to Em, and tried a solo as well, lol.

Would you mind posting it without the rhythm guitar...until then I'm mute.

Thought so...without the chords being way too much up front it was great, you ended the 3rd phrase, I think on a D over the A, and you really didn't put much confidence into that note, and it was the only thing I disliked in terms of note choice.
