Elite Backing Tracks should be the template for every jam track on RUclips. Everything is right there - beats per minute, time signature, and chord progression. Not to mention that they're really good jam tracks too.
Today I learned A major pentatonic scales that CAGES thingy and Holy Moly im soo hooked on this.... All I need to do know is to learn this chord progression and then I need to find friends to jam with 😂
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about blues jam tracks try Zamartar Simple Blues Remedy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
Try mixing both major and minor pentatonics, switch from one to the other mid-phrase and it sounds cool. Also, some A mixolydian and dorian scales to spice things up!
I'm a bit confused, hopefully someone can help. If this is A major wouldn't F be the relative minor? It plays in A minor pentatonic and I dont understand why.
It's neither major nor minor. It's a blues, which is often in-between. Neither the major nor minor scale have three dominant seventh chords. The dominant seventh chord has a major third and a minor seventh - That's why the minor pentatonic can sound good over it, even the minor third in the minor pentatonic, because it's a blue note (and the minor pentatonic includes the minor seventh). I remember how it is as a beginner, you learn the pentatonic as a system and you don't understand when something doesn't fit that system. If you want something that "fits" a bit more, try playing by following the chords instead, play [A C# G] for A7, [D F# C] for D7, and [E G# D] for E7 - and then try experimenting which notes sound good over which chord.
@@TheMVAUGHAN I thought I’d come up with a nifty trick for finding the relative minor quickly by counting back two full steps. This works for some but not all keys as some go back in half steps which is why for this particular key I was a half step off. I guess there is no way to get out of memorising the circle of fifths 😂
@@SuiTobi sorry I know this is old but I missed it at the time and I thought I’d respond with three years of reflection behind me. You’re right about trying to make everything fit into one box as a beginner, it can make things quite confusing. In this instance I was trying to avoid memorising the circle of fifths by thinking I could count two steps backwards from the major key to find the relative minor. What I didn’t realise is that this works for some but not all keys and that’s why I was a half step off. Considering this I was playing in Am because Fm didn’t fit (should have been F#m), and you explained in detail why it worked.
+karol walczak Hi Karol! Thanks for your question, and I think the best way to answer you is to say that if you listen closely to the major thirds in the accompanying instruments, you will hear that they play a major third and not a minor third on the A7 chord. :) Hope that helps! Cheers man!! :D
@@EliteBackingTracks Hi very late reaction I know but thanks for the track! But it is possible to play the minor scale when it goes to the 4th and 5th chord right? And then back to the major scale when it returns to the 1 chord? Thanks again!
In blues, major, minor (parallel and/or relative) and pentatonic are often played against each other. The original pentatonic scale included quarter-tones. Pianos simulate the quarter-tones with rolled grace notes, or a dissonant pair of notes a half-tone apart. The bottom line is: Play what feels good to you and expresses your mood. Classical music composers often interleaved major and parallel minor keys (and of course relative minor keys). They often did not bother changing key signatures; they just added accidentals. When I improv on flute, I do not know ahead of time when I am going to shift between D maj or D minor or D dorian or F major. Or sometimes transition into an entirely different key.
This track is tremendous for jamming and learning relative scales and keys. It's A major as far as the key: which you can test by playing the A major scale - and you will find that using "bluesy" riffs and techniques, the major scale can be awesome for blues. Even better: YES - the A minor scale is relative here and sounds awesome - but not just as an alternative, but rather together and adjacent in your playing of the major scale. You can do SO much with this track - it's my favorite kind of progression when it comes to blues type playing. Have fun!
@@bigcos1966 YES. On Tnr Sax we think in the Key of B for us.. I've been jamming on Clarinet where the fingering is a nightmare in this Key. It has made me forget fingers & HEAR what I want to play. This track is a great Music lesson. Our Instrument = a machine to express ourselves. Practicing with this track has made other things seem easier. Thank you for sharing your ideas about all that.

That is awesome! 😎👍🎶🎸 It would be cool to hear you jamming over this and show what you’ve worked on!
It's a vibe.
Enjoy your tracks they have a well rounded sound and feel.
Thank you! Appreciate that!
One of the best backing tracks ever. Thanks mate!

Bravo : super merci.
It's crazy, you cannot play a wrong note on this. Any note I play on my guitar works.. what magic is this?!
These are the blues! ;)
awesome bro
best one yet
Thanks man!!
what the name of blues type is this. Please 🙏🏼😇🙏🏼😇 thanks
Major & Minor Pentatonic are Brothers!
muy bueno ,muchas gracias por el aporte!!!!
Thank you!
What's some good scales to play over these? Asking for a friend...

Perfect 3:55
A pentatonic also works

F# would be relative minor

It's in 4/4, though.

it's not A minor?

+karol walczak F# is the relative minor if you want to jam on a minor scale
yes but A minor works aswell
Kinda. You get a few funky notes. The minor third clashes with the C# in the A chord

Top!
Is this a minor or major track??
thanks. But there is too much going on. Leave some space for the solo
Thanks for the feedback, you players are the best source of motivation to imporove 👍😊
Isn't this A minor- surely? I play A minor 7th pentatonic to this, but what are the major scale notes that can be played to this please?

@@daviddiamond2415 ... I'm self taught and if I'm at a blues jam, the blues players would always state this simply as in A...

Too much going on for a backing track. It competes with what I'm playing.
Good!
This is A minor, still a good track tho.
No. It's A major.
Major... ;o-))

Que lindo!!
Am mineur

I swear i am gonna make a music jamin on this backing Track
Make 2!
A Major? Using A7, D7 & E7...isn't that in A minor?
This is A Minor backing track
Nah. A minor (pentatonic) scale only “properly” works over the D7. The minor 3rd in the Am scale the and the major third in the A7 chord clash.
Too much going on at once with the resonator

@Compartmentofdirections
Muy bonito, pero las guitarras acompañantes dejan poco lugar al solista.
Not enough space to play lead over. Too busy.
thats the official structure of blues FUCKIN CUACK
Sounds Great but...…...Sounds more like a blues track than a backing track. Way too much going on to add much of anything. Nice work though
I was "talking back" to the rifts they played...it was fun. lol
Slow is slow...
Way too much accompaniment for this to be a backing track. I cant hear myself over the slide, broken chords and other accents
Oh well. You’re getting it for free. Do your own if you don’t like it.
annoying guitar at rythm
