This backing track allowed me to improvise in a way I didn't even know I could, and it really kickstarted my jazz piano phase and brought me out of the rigid classical style. Thank you so much for the inspiration, I will forever remember this as the video that began my jazz piano journey!
It's really interesting how different tracks bring out creativity. The last one I jammed with was a track in E which was literally the best yet. Go at it in Em. ruclips.net/video/ZlI5hRsx4Tg/видео.html
it's sunday morning and it's a gorgeous sunny day, i wake up, drink my coffe, i take a shower and i go to my drums jamming to this and the sun on my back. This maked my day bro, thank you.
I've been at a plateau with my guitar playing for years...recently got interested in learning to improvise playing lead (not much prior knowledge of scales) and omg I've learned so much from these tracks and scales. I haven't had much fun playing guitar in the past 2 or 3 years, and now I can't put it down and practice to these videos daily. Thank you!
💛 love this comment, definitely felt that way before - for stuff like this you'd probably get the best results setting it up like an 80s/90s RnB band and taking that jazz mentality into it, not unlike some Erykah Badu lineups or something - that way you won't have as many annoying elitists coming to gigs and going "this isn't jazz!", you'll instead get more music fans going "oh daaaang" when you play Of course I'm just a randomer sharing an opinion, but I think the thing you're talking about is super doable and not an unpopular type of band - if you dig this stuff, try it out!
I play rhythm guitar so i barely do solos and this was so easy for me to find a melodic groove with to actually feel some melodies. I wish this video was 10 hours long.
I've been using this backing track so much I just went ahead and finally bought the album. Your tracks are absolutely fantastic to jam with my friend. Thanks for putting this out there into the world
Great Job on this track Tom!!!! I so really dig the arrangement. Everything about it just seems to all into place for me. I just lost me youngest Son 21/2 weeks ago. His name was Andrew, we would set and switch back and forth between us and improv over your tracks like this one. I was teaching him improvisation, and now he's gone!!! It's the worst thing ever in my life. Your music helps make it bearable! Thanks 🙏🏻your friend and brother, Dana E💫
My heart breaks to hear about your son Adnrews passing.. Wish you all the streght through these hard times. I will remeber you/ him when I jam to this track
Why do I love this chord progression so much? Uhhhh ... because it's awesome!!! I find myself phrasing more so in F Ionian and A Phrygian on this particular track more so than D natural minor.
Just wanted to say thank you brother for all you do. I've learned more about understanding scales and modes from jamming to your fine tracks and studying the diagrams than anything else I've tried.
I really love this backing because you've spiced upp the chord progression so any tone i take outside of the scales still fits in perfectly.. and that's when I can feel truly creative, when i have this much freedom. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Not only is your backing melodies just right for learning but what you have showing on the screen while I'm trying to go through scales has taught me more in two videos that I've learned in years of playing. You have found a way to reach my brain at my pace. You are on to something here. Fucking fabulous. And then your solos at the end So I can visualize. Thank you.
Is it somehow possible to see what the chord voicings are? I very much like your tracks. But i also would like to learn to play and even more important, to understand what you have played here. That would really help to learn to create meaningfull solo lines. (hope my englisch is not to bad) Thank you very much for your effort.
Nice track! Lots of directions we can take over these changes. Thanks! FYI for all the music nerds (and up-coming ones too): the last chord of the bridge should actually be notated as an A7b13, not an A aug. The latter suggests a M7th (A, C#, E#, G#) instead of a -7th. Since this is a dominant chord, you want the -7th. Also, there are more scales available to you over an A7b13. Elevated is not wrong in their notation - this is simply a school of thought difference. (And except for my use of M and - to differentiate between Major and Minor, the above is the Berklee method)
@@kennethbeavers6903 I'm sorry, I was partially wrong. I thought they changed by the chord, but they don't. This is the D Aeolian scale, also known as natural minor. This is a good starting place for playing over the tonic of this track, but you'll be happier playing a B rather than a Bb. That would be melodic or the rising half of the harmonic minor
Aye a little tip if you wanna add a lil something, play D#, (half step above the root for those who may not know) then slide back down to D, just a cool sound, it really sounds good over the D7sus and Gm7
I love your tracks! definitely helping me with my improv. Your solos are also very inspirational, and the quality of your tracks are amazing! Thank you!

Beautifull song, I really like it... Hey man please let me to do a JAM with my friends using this song?? Could you allow this? I mention your name or can post your video's part playing too. I appreciate this.
@elevated Great backing track and also absolutely beautiful solo. Would love to chat with you about your influences and hear if you had any reflections about what things that got you here. Thanks a ton for providing this stuff. Playing music is great for me and I appreciate it. Good vibes. Can't get over the solo mate. Thanks.
Sweet progression . Can someone explain the music theory to me ? How does the aug 7 work in the key of d minor? All the other chords are in that key but that one isn’t. It sounds awesome though and definitely makes the song the way it is
It does sound great. It's a borrowed chord. It could be from D major and he augmented the 5th chord (A). Only he will know where he took it from, maybe just by ear.
The three chord of a key (is if we say we’re in f major) often sounds great major because you’re using a note from the harmonic minor scale of the relative minor. So we’re in f major/d minor so the three chord is A minor. We can make this major because the major third of A is in the harmonic minor scale of d minor and then the augmented note, the raised fifth, is in the basic scale for this key anyway.
Is this solo on your Patreon? I honestly need it to see if I can understand what notes you picked for the changing chords. Your solo is so sweet and perfect that I think it would teach me wanders if I could break it down.
Most great blues players tend to target the 3rd of chords on changes, also, what ever important notes in a chord that could be targeted (try to stay away from the 1 and the 5, but things like the 7, 9, #9 ect. are good). Hopefully this helps *smiley emoji*.
@@rmnnoodles4life5 it does help! I'll keep that in mind while I'm practicing. I ended up learning tgis solo from watching the video, I think that forced me to understand it better than I would've by just reading from the tab I asked for. Thanks for your comment!

Nice tempo, and not too demanding. More like this please, I'm sure the other 2 million viewers would agree.
as one of the 2 million, i agree
still don't know why he's not in the millions ):
He should be
There have to be a million people who want to jam to RUclips backing tracks
It's because people are using his tracks free on youtube and not supporting him through his Patreon - or buying his tracks
easily one of the best backing tracks out there. The bit with the sample solo at the end only certified that fact
Still my favorite track even after two years
Whenever I'm sad I solo on this jam track and I cheer up instantly
I use these backings in almost all of my double bass lessons for students to improvise over - they absolutely love it.

Same! Love this channel
The chord progression is a killer.
Yes
I find myself all over the fret board on this one. it ts awesome.
this is such a beautiful smooth jam. tracks like these just make me want to quit everything and become a jazz player

Dude! I create the best melodies over your backing tracks. That's a tribute to YOU, not me. Your stuff is sooooo good!
I play rhythm guitar so i barely do solos and this was so easy for me to find a melodic groove with to actually feel some melodies. I wish this video was 10 hours long.
True that has helped me with my creativity a lot
Oh dude I know, I’ve been stuck on this track for two days just enjoying it’s presence
Completely agree with you
Agreed

Thanks mate!
This was a very fun jam!
Woah you play?

YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST COMPOSER I HAVE EVER SEEN!!
This is my go too warmup for my Motown/ & R/B set list
A better way to learn chords on a given key has yet to be invented. And chords spawn more chords and experimentation. This is a great channel!
Why do I love this chord progression so much? Uhhhh ... because it's awesome!!! I find myself phrasing more so in F Ionian and A Phrygian on this particular track more so than D natural minor.
If I become a successful guitarist it's because of you
More like this. Great track allowing for smooth, easy-going jazzy licks, right into full-blown "You're eating this minor pentasandwich" territory.
I come back to jam over this all the time since it came out
Made a novice player feel like a real Slim Jim licker! Awesome track, thank you for this!
Just bought a new tele, had to break it in and this was perfect, spent a long time watching and coming back to this video😂😂
Just wanted to say thank you brother for all you do. I've learned more about understanding scales and modes from jamming to your fine tracks and studying the diagrams than anything else I've tried.
Same
A very fine groove for a lazy summerday!!!!
That solo was a SPICY meat ball!!!!!!
This remains one of my favourite backing tracks - really lovely.
Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards are greatest funky groove producers. Chic always
playing sax along with this is killer
i dont even play, i just listen to this so often I LOVE IT
I really love this backing because you've spiced upp the chord progression so any tone i take outside of the scales still fits in perfectly.. and that's when I can feel truly creative, when i have this much freedom. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Christoph Jurkschat I agree. Trying to figure out the chords, especially for the ones I’m not familiar with in proving to be difficult...
This one really helped me find a good walking pattern up and down the board. Thanks!
I really appreciate this type of videos on youtube

@Kendrick Kirk In the scale screen why are notes surrounding the scale light purple??
@@kennethbeavers6903 I don't read tab, so it would take me a bit to figure out. But my guess is optional scales to play over each chord
@@KendrickCreates ahhh ok thank you

Feels like meditation playing over this

It's so cool your tracks as if I'm jamming right beside you. Thank you!
I love your tracks! definitely helping me with my improv. Your solos are also very inspirational, and the quality of your tracks are amazing! Thank you!
Bro I just jammed to your stuff for just shy of an hour and it was really fun. Thanks mate.
The best solo ever
Your track is so good that my guitar has no choice but to ALSO sound good lol great groove man.
Holy Mother thank you thank you this is awesome!
You sir are on another level!👏👏 beautiful!
Je l'aime toujours autant ce track je ne peux pas m'en passer.. je suis au fond de ma couette, je l'écoute à jamais 💜💜
You know that feeling you get when you hear a song you really love, and its just too short of a song... 12 minutes is too short here.
This was a super fun one. Could also just listen to it in the background when I’m working tko
The diagram of notes really helped, thank you so much
This is a track that I love to play over and over!!!!!!!!!
I didnt know I had those licks in me! what an amazing track

I was just jamming over this. Thank you for the inspiration 🤘🏽
This is an amazing song thanks for sharing
i like how you post the scales to the music.
I sincerely thank you for these great tracks which are extremely helpful for my learning journey.
Damn!! That solo!! Thanks for everything
Thank you bro 💪🏽🖤

Cant get over that solo at the end! Nice work
like the solo at the end, was going all Bob Jamesy - nice

Thanks a ton for providing this stuff. Playing music is great for me and I appreciate it. Good vibes. Can't get over the solo mate. Thanks.
you should do tutorial as well for the nice solo at the end
Solo is great
It’s right there on the screen though
He's just playing the scale. Learn how to do it naturally. Learn the scale. Change the timing of the notes to your liking. It will come naturally.
Naw, you can see his fingers and hear what he's doing. Spoon feeding people would be a waste of video
one of the best out there, bet on it
Very smooth and beautiful cords.. I like it.. You are best ...
Hey I had trouble finding this one on your Patreon, will you ever put out tabs for this? I love this solo I just can’t figure out the quick part!
I love you elevated jam!!I love all of your tracks,thanks so much😘💓💓💓
Absolutely,my kind of flow.thanks alot man.
Beautiful. Love it. Your fingers are about a foot longer then mine.
I always have fun playing with your backing track. Thank you man!
Nice solo at the end there, my mystery man friend! Very cool man.
Nice production value on these tracks. Thanks.
Best jams ever
One of my favs of yours so farr

I enjoyed playing over this.

All your backing tracks are amazing, but there is something very special about this track. Love your work!
liked for the backing track. subscribed for the solo. masterful
Excellent! The best smooth jazz submission yet.
Thank you super Emotions!!
At the 10:58- 11:03 mark , what is that run you did around the 10/11 fret ? That was awesome
Catchy with great tone. Good job
incredible solo
Lovely. Reminds me of thank you next a little
You've absolutely crushed it with this track EJT. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! XOXO
