2-5-1 Jazz Practice Backing Track - All 12 Keys in 30 Minutes!

preview_player
Показать описание
The keys move up in 4th intervals and the track has no comping - so lots of space to improvise/solo/comp

30-minute medium swing jazz practice backing track for improvising on major 2-5-1 progressions in all 12 keys!

(Cool jazz guitar comping lesson)

Chord progression:

II: Dm7 I G7 I Cmaj7 I Cmaj7 :II

Then

II: Gm7 I C7 I Fmaj7 I Fmaj7 :II

And so forth....

(see the video for each progression as the track goes on)

In theory, you can start by sticking to the relevant major scale in each key - as in C major scale on Dm7 - G7 - Cmaj7.

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

Cmaj7 arpeggio = c e g b

Dmin7 arpeggio = d f a c

G7 arpeggio = g b d f

Playing C Major scale will result in C Ionian (Cmaj7 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)

....and then repeat in all 12 keys for a proper jazz workout!

running an idea through all the keys is the only way to really learn that fraze and to improvise freely. Thnx man this is what we needed.

The backing track is awsome for solo Pedal Steel Guitar. I place mostly on the C6 neck for this one. Lots of reps gets me to not thinking note to note. I think more phrase to phrase. Thanks Elite.
