I've been playing for 4 months and am very new to the concept of "scales". As soon as I learned the Am blues scale I came here to jam along, randomly climbing up and down the scale. This might be my first improv but man that felt so good!
Keep up the good work 👏 some day you will have the "awakening" and you will be fabulous every time you touch your instrument. It's definitely worth the work and time.
@@OverheatingHotdog It’s kinda ok. I moved somewhere and couldn’t pay much attention to guitar for reasons, so I don’t think I have a 5 year worthy progress. Still, recently got an acoustic guitar to keep me busy. Learning more about rhythm and fingerstyle lately. I need to revisit music theory some time.
Yes! I'm not a very good player, but man.... with a killer backing track like this one, I can do the same. Get into a groove with the pentatonic scale, all up and down the neck.... and just have a field day with it! Get my sound system dialed in, up there in the music room, and pretend I'm a pro for a little while! LOL Agree with you 100%. This is a killer track!
Actually qith this backing track u can add a couple of notes that also fits in cuz its in minor so u can add a F and also B and there are other notes but i don’t have my guit rn so yee
Dude, that’s all it takes. I’d say add a couple more scales. Figure out a few repeater licks and some great places to bend and you’re golden. Find your own tone through a quality amp. Slash from GNR made his money with the blues scale and pentatonic and great tone and embellishment. Improvise a lot, come up with some of your moves. Honestly, I think if you just kept the pentatonic alone and played in a band the audience would love it because your solos would sound great to the ear. Screw trying to be Hendrix.
Played 20+ years,very solid song guy,don't(didn't)play lead,very few very memorized licks. Playing with this track is the first time I've really committed to"jamming along",am making some pretty solid improvements quickly. Can't say enough,it's a magic track,highly recommended.
I concur played 8 years this track is the first one I can understand how to target the chord changes, I can't play super fast but I play with nice vibrato and bends you know thank you brother!
Its just a basic 12 bar blues in A minor. Just play around in a pentatonic for a bit and you'll make some progress. When you get confortable with that you can look at adding the 6th and playing in dorian to really give it some flavor.

I think this is by far the best place RUclips autoplay has got me to, ive had so much fun for the last minutes, probably gonna come back here a lot of times!
+fwfrazorx Fifty people were disappointed that this is Blues-Jazz and not actual, pure Blues. Many people don't like this stuff, it's a bit cheesy in all honesty, doesn't have the soul that real Blues has.
+fwfrazorx tastes and colors. Do you feel so smarter/better that you think everybody should like what you like ? People still got their own opinion, for the best
+fwfrazorx, There is nothing wrong with voicing an honest opinion. It's a "comments" section, not a "compliments" section. I love this track. Others might not. Perhaps its politically incorrect to disagree in "Cupcake Nation".
dude you are not a true musician and i bet you can't even play a instrument , leave your negative comments to yourself while us real musos have great and absolute pleasure in this masterful from the earth sound
i was always too afraid to do improv (especially around others) because it felt too personal. with this backing track, i had so much fun! i feel like practicing with this often will help me feel more confident in my playing. thank you! :)
Thank you, friend! Absolutely love your work as well. To my subs - go check out Superior Jam Tracks channel for some superior tracks - ruclips.net/channel/UC4gJG64lapR4JykLqD5Iw1w
Why has it taken so long for me to find this track! Everything everybody else has said is true and for the first time i sound like i can actually play and i only know half a dozen pentatoic licks and 3 scale shapes. i was almost giving from lack of progress but this has given the breakthrough i needed to carry on, thank you so much.
Excellent track! I particularly appreciate the fact that the dynamics change throughout the tune; it doesn't just loop the same monotonous feel throughout the whole thing. Makes it a LOT more interesting to play over.
Thx. I appreciate you writing these kind words. As a guitarist that uses Backing tracks as a real tool for developmant and also for pure fun, I try to give that sense of dynamics in each track I write and produce. It gives me a lot of joy and satisfaction to see so many people using and enjoying my tracks. Thanks again!
Fantastic track to practice with. Someone was asking for the chord progression:-Am(x 4),Dm(x2),Am(x2),F,E7,Am,E7. I find playing C major pentatonic on the Am chords,and Am pentatonic on all other chords with modest variation works.
Here's a little tip to expand your chops. Start with a note in the scale, slide on up , same string to the next note that sounds like it fits. Might be one fret, might be 3 frets up. But always look around the neck for a new starting point. Cause now from that new spot you found, run the scale from that position in the scale. It will be liberating in that "stuck in one area" tar pit of advancement. Every string has a A or a note in that scale. Let your ear hear it as you slide up or down at your own pace. Listening for that sweet note that fits.
Thank you, Gilad. I play blues harp and am learning to play minor keys in second position, and this is such a perfect track to play to use. THANKS SO MUCH for making it free and public.
You owe me some money... for the bandages I had to use on my fingers for jamming out to this track for so long! Easily one of the best A Blues backing track on youtube! Thank you and Bravo!
+nelsond1498 I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about blues jam track try Jadonite Guitar Blues Buddy (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got excellent success with it.
Wow! all my life I’ve wanted to become a blues guitarist...it just happened! I sat and jammed for almost 12 min straight and it sounded amazing. Those hours of learning scales just hit pay dirt!
I grew up on first listening to country music then I turned my ear the metal area with learning how to play guitar in the metal guitar style, in this bluesy sound is always fun to hear and play over on !!
This is my go-to backing track. I've been playing for about six months. Since i started using this last week, I've definitely gotten noticeably better. Thanks!
This is a wonderful I have had one of the best sound jams I have ever had. I wish you guys could here it. These guys are good. They made me sound good.
Good on you - now learn the diatonic modes as well. Both are important. It will take you a few months to get familiar with, but will give you such an important and diverse range of tools.
I always just noodled around but I just finish a lesson on youtube about the A root notes and now I am using this to help me with moving up and down the neck for soloing and finding the root notes and this is awesome. That one video lesson and this backing track go hand in hand to work on soloing. Thanks for the backing track.
+The Frugal Musician Thanks. Sounds like great tools to develope the improv skills. Tell you what, why won't you post a link to the lesson here so others can enjoy that too? Good luck with your music.

Ive been playing guitar about 6 or 7 months now. And just know a ton of scales and techniques instead of songs. This has been me still. It takes me about 2 hours to really jam my fingers out of commission but every day I hit it with this jam. I always just get into this serious thing where I cant stop playing variations of a new riff until the song is over and I'm like "Whoah, that was something totally new", it feels so good. I think someday ill look back on this time as my "golden age" of guitar, but I just keep getting better and discovering new highs of experience with jamming. Your comment sums it up so well. Its hurt the shit out of my fingers to type this but its well worth it.
+Jo Marquez Yup that got me all like, oh lydian! awesome I went through the whole 11m studying modes and the pentatonic and other unusual methods, like this dude that plays without thinking about scales here on youtube
This backing track is so good that it makes my shitty solos sound decent.
hahhaha same happend to me, i was like "oh shit i can play"
LOL! Mine too!

Soon I too may level up to shitty solos!

Jamming with this gives so many different licks to just improvise to .... really baptized my new harmonica tonight ..... thanks .....
Thanks
I literally just learned a minor pentatonic scale and I'm rock out to this track for like 30 minutes its awesome dude
Very cool!
Same dudeeee, its very cool!
I'm using the caged system to play it! Feels so nice to get glimpses of getting it down
hellyeah good for you!
Me too and I only know 3 patterns from it, yet still it puts my weak playing on a level well above my ability, (or understanding).
Knowing only the pentatonic scale works like magic with this track...felt awesome jamming to this one !
This is a great track. No ads or other interruptions. Just being able to stretch out for 11 minutes. Thank you very much. Cheers from New Zealand! 🇳🇿
Very cool! Enjoy
Tight and piles of fun. Long on my acoustic but a pure delight on my tele. Thanks.
