Tempo = 120 BPM

Chord progression:


II: Cmaj7 I Am7 I Dm7 I G7 :II

The keyboard only outlines the triads, so for the sections with keys only you can add any extensions you like :)

You can simply play the C major scale on this. Easy :)

C major scale = C D E F G A B

Next up, I'd try outlining the chord tones/arpeggios:

Cmaj7 arpeggio = c e g b

Am7 arpeggio = a c e g

Dmin7 arpeggio = d f a c

G7 arpeggio = g b d f

Playing the C Major scale will result in C Ionian (Cmaj7 chords), A Minor (Am7 chords), D Dorian (Dm7 chords) and G Mixolydian (G7 chords) - all the same 7 notes!

Next up, I'd recommend trying out some more advanced colours on the dominant chord (G7/G13) by using the

G diminished 1/2-1 tone scale = G Ab Bb B C# D E F (G)

Your key board / acoustic bass is pretty good sample! This was in the ‘Bassless Backing Tracks’ section for some reason? Rock on, peas

I’m trying to be a better jazz bassist and this is really helping with improv :) I’m not 100% sure what I played was actually jazz but it was fun either way

Nice work Quist, I lived in Vancouver (Coquitlam) for 12 years played with Basher, Geordie Mann, etc at the old Commodore, I see they have refurbished it nicely now.
