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

preview_player
Показать описание
30 minute medium swing jazz practice backing track for improvising on major 2-5-1 progressions in all 12 keys! Starts at 0:39 The progressions move up in semitones and the track has no comping - so lots of space to improvise/solo/comp

Chord progression:

II: Dm7 I G7 I Cmaj7 I Cmaj7 :II

Then

II: Ebm7 I Ab7 I Dbmaj7 I Dbmaj7 :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!

So great to see you guys are jamming lots to this one at the moment 🔥 For all those asking about jamtracksmania .com - unfortunately I lost that domain a few years ago. The domain service failed to let me know the lease was up in any clear way and then resold it to some random person as soon as it was up. I tried to "buy it back" but no response, so annoying :((( HAPPY JAMMING!

The 'like' button on This web site does not do this track any justice.
As one that's trying to learn the bass this is a Great teaching aid. I can see the keys, listen, and follow along.
Thank you Thank you

Great for me learning all chord tones in twelve keys. Now I'm finally de mystifying my bass. Becoming a proper bass player not just one who plays in the key of e. Thank you so much.

I’m learning about jazz improvisation right now and this is what I use to practice! I’ve been playing for 3 years and this has helped me so much!

This channel with all of its jams, its the best channel in the whole network. Its really really helpful to practice with real music in real time. This required a lot of effort i guess so i wanna thank you for all of this backing track, really, thank you, and regards from Uruguay.

First i was asking why you're soloing at the beggining and i hated you because you good.
Then i played and i understood what "keys" mean in french.
Now i'm thinkin you've made exactly what i need so

All this speech to thank you.

Thanks Quist. I found this especially useful for my bebop harmony class assignment: 251=51(since the 2 is part of the 5) play up or down the scale from and to chord tones while constructing lines. Thanks

Thanks for all these backing tracks and especially for this one.
Mostly used the Bb ones so far but this can make me a complete trumpet player (yeah not only good for guitar)
