I just bought your catalogue from bandcamp to support your amazing work. I find that your backing tracks allow me to let loose but they also force me to think because the progressions are not always obvious. In my opinion the very best set of backing tracks around and I hope you are making enough money to pursue a career in music
Always great to hear that people like yourself find them useful! I don't do this full time (Still have to maintain a regular day job unfortunately) but the generosity of yourself and many others is making it a possibility in the not-so-distant future, so the purchase is much appreciated my friend! 💪
Much to surprise, been a working musician for 40 years+ Feast or famine, can't seem to stop. Dig your your progressions and groove. Thanks for showing the chords, less thinking on my part is always welcome. Cold beer, sticky blunt, and jam along often. Subscribed so I can find ya easily, your welcome.
You’ve figured out a not-so-secret secret that too often takes players too long to understand 😜 a progression where a dominant base becomes the I chord is just beginning for a blend of dorian, mixolydian, and Ionian modes, sometimes even Phrygian & Lydian is the changes allow it. I see a lot of players hear a dominant chord & immediately think “well based on where that falls in the major scale my only option is mixolydian” & I always felt that the realization that there is never only one option is a “major key” to opening new doors
I've said it before, but one more time won't hurt. If you want to develop your style, these are some of the best jam tracks out there -- long enough to play around, varying keys, tasty and groovy ... infectious. And it's the kind of stuff you'll likely encounter in the real world. So consider throwing this dude a few bucks. If not for yourself, for him. And if not for him, then for the rest of us who look forward to his continuing these videos. Do it for your fellow player!! (And yes, I've already ponied up ... for you. 💪)
i started improvising with the blues scale and the mixolydian, i ended up playing "who did you think i was" i don't know why ahahah ! very nice track though :)
I'm a broke college kid but I'll definitely buy your whole discography around Christmas if I haven't by then. These are a great way to unwind after class though
Now this is truly beautiful. I've been using your jam tracks for a fair bit of time, and despite what I play being absolutely horrible I thoroughly enjoy these tracks. Big thanks for keeping this up.
This reminded me intensely of Captain Beefheart!☝️(rather than Godfather J Brown of funk). Fantastic funk with my added pseudo Don Van Vliet’s growl and Zappa like riffs on my Strat. Just got into the groove that I almost fainted with all that endorphin release🤣👍👏. What a fantastic track! Right key so A7 chord in 1st position and 12th fret. Easier. Wonderful stuff. THANKS.👏”I’m gonna booglarize you baby.” CB and the Magic Band👏
sorry to change a few opinions, A mixoli.... scales goes very well, but the A blues, was not for me, but the A major worked really well instead of the minor blues, just an opinion.
That's exactly what I was looking for someone to respond in the comment ? I am confused what to do with the charts shown in screen. Are we supposed to play those highlighted keys and create our own lead ?
Hey that's cool to mix the scales and what not I learned many of these modes long B4 I ever knew the names. As such is pretty. Obvious. Considering the mysterious nature of music with it's. Daunting 12 tones and the various. Combos. In between. But for the most part. The scales and arpeggios with their various respective ornamentations and those aren't that many. Types to. Know. Like on the piano for instance the piano has laid B4 us the c major scale is All the white keys Now if you know your" do re mi " Then u could expand from this base By simply assigning a harmonically agreeable chord on each. Note in the. C major scale For instance C- C major or c major 7 D- D MINOR OR MINOR 7 E- E MINOR OR MINOR 7 F, - F MAJOR OR MAJOR 7 G- G MAJOR OR G7 A- A MINOR OR MINOR 7 B - B DIMINISHED. - AND BACK TO -C . One could than add all the flats or sharps remaining a diminished arpeggio or what I began
Because it works!👍☝️The mixolydian scale is the fifth note of the D Major scale with two sharps F# and C#...bap, bap dooley, bap, bap, Dooley etc. sounds cool mixing those modes...👏
I you play G major (aka ionian) Over an A root note, you get A dorian (minor with major 6th) While that could work with this track to an extent, I have two problems with that. 1) The key is clearly A. 2) As A7 is the main chord, its third is C#. So technically, you could play G lydian over it, but that makes no sense. Just play A minor pentatonic over it and learn to bend the thirds. That sounds better than running scales. (at least to me, unless you want fast runs like Satriani or Slash would do or whomever)
As an old working pro, it's always sadly comical to hear the "which scale over which chord, etc." as if all solo-ing & jamming reduces to that formula. It's a bit like, "I'm writing my new GF a letter. Should the verbs be mostly, etc. etc...Is past perfect tense OK for a romantic, etc.?" LOL.. It's about VOCABULARY, phrasing, fluidity, etc. etc. Scales are a SMALL part of "improvising" - or it ain't improvising. Just sayin'...Thanks for your time! 👍🏻
You going to have to do better than this all I hear is slow pathetic riffs. Speed it up have a bridge or middle 8 and keep to under 7 mins...ITS THAT SIMPLE.

These backing tracks are the best around! So damn good. Can't get enough, I even listen to them while working, anyone else do that? haha
try to combine myxolydian with dorian, it's great sounding.

Ta!
LOL, first time here. I'll subscribe first and then, "pay the man" later.
I had this on while cooking and it turned out a perfect meal.
i started improvising with the blues scale and the mixolydian, i ended up playing "who did you think i was" i don't know why ahahah ! very nice track though :)
I can clearly hear inspiration from "Who Did You Think I Was" by John Mayer Trio
Super fun track to jam with. I finally feel like im progressing with my leads
One of my funnest jams to play with! Thank you! You are my flawless, never miss a note band. 😉
I had way too much fun with this.Great track.

I know the struggle, thanks brother 💪
This is a funky ass groove
I know right 💪
This backing track is very exciting

Now this is truly beautiful. I've been using your jam tracks for a fair bit of time, and despite what I play being absolutely horrible I thoroughly enjoy these tracks. Big thanks for keeping this up.

Very good backing track.. i'd love a faster version of it. Cheers!.. jammed to it for hours .
SUPER8 1.25x speed is dope haha

This reminds me of a disco biscuits goove too very cool.
Thank you!.🙏

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!❤️
The strat on thumbnail is on🔥 who used that strat is it an artist strat or cs?
sorry to change a few opinions, A mixoli.... scales goes very well, but the A blues, was not for me, but the A major worked really well instead of the minor blues, just an opinion.
I think he's better at f#m blues ... lam doesn't work..
sorry is Bm....and Bm blues
The Ron Jeremy is strong with this one 😉
Legal,,Tô pensando improvisa musica !Muito obrigada.
Yeah man I'm all over the place
A Dorian works nice too. You can right between all three modes.
Who do you think I wasssssss
John Mayer?
Who did you funk I was... ;)
I was practicing to this and my 3 year old daughter said, “That was so good it made me cry happy tears!” Haha
Why can I play Bm and Bm blues as well? excellent channel! 🤘😎🤘
Bm is A Myxolydian
James gang meets jimmi meets john mayer? Im so confused 🤔 but its great!

Inspiring, inspiring, inspiring track to jam along with, thank you!
verry simililar to the progression of good love is on the way JM ;)
Man I feel like a pro playing over this jam! Just so much fun!
Sweet track man! Thank you
I don't mean to put down this amazing track but is this not just John Mayer Who did you think i was just funk
solo tab also plz
Very cool
Is that pic of Doyle Bramhall Jr's strat?
Do the two lines of chords correspond to the scales? ie, are we meant to play A Mixolydian over the A7 and A Blues over the rest?
That's exactly what I was looking for someone to respond in the comment ? I am confused what to do with the charts shown in screen. Are we supposed to play those highlighted keys and create our own lead ?
great track, thanks.
No problemo 👍
Cool!
Is there any tabs for this?
Try pentatonic shifting… in-out-in
Nice.. love having a FUCKING add in the middle of a track.. really
It's always weird to me hearing funk where the guitar out-funks the bass by a mile.
Can I use it for drum cover?
Hey that's cool to mix the scales and what not

Now if you know your" do re mi "
Then u could expand from this base
By simply assigning a harmonically agreeable chord on each. Note in the. C major scale
For instance
C- C major or c major 7
D- D MINOR OR MINOR 7
E- E MINOR OR MINOR 7
F, - F MAJOR OR MAJOR 7
G- G MAJOR OR G7
A- A MINOR OR MINOR 7
B - B DIMINISHED. - AND BACK TO
-C .
One could than add all the flats or sharps remaining a diminished arpeggio or what I began
Phish - Wolfmans Brother (half step lower)

thats who did u think i was^^, thx
Nice! :)
Who did you think it Was! But funky
Hi EJT, can I have your permission to use part of this track on a BBQ video for my smoked turkey legs? Personal use, non profit only. Thanks!

👍👍👍
Rec Room VR type beat

Country funk? Ooook

I got half a smile and zero shame...
pino paladino
Everyone who's listening to this backing track, listen to who did you think I was by John Mayer after this. Thank me later..
Definitely isn’t a rip off of Mayer’s ‘who did you think I was’ haha
why can we play A dorian and A mixolydian ??
Because it works!👍☝️The mixolydian scale is the fifth note of the D Major scale with two sharps F# and C#...bap, bap dooley, bap, bap, Dooley etc. sounds cool mixing those modes...👏

I love this backing track..but the mixo here was wrong..this track was in G
I you play G major (aka ionian) Over an A root note, you get A dorian (minor with major 6th) While that could work with this track to an extent, I have two problems with that. 1) The key is clearly A. 2) As A7 is the main chord, its third is C#.

(at least to me, unless you want fast runs like Satriani or Slash would do or whomever)
Is it just me or is it a tiny bit out of rhythm? Sounds like it in the beginning
just you.
That's the funk!
Is that really a F#m7?
no
@@overlandrc5576 ? Tell me what it is, then.
Funk #48.2454
Who did you think i was john mayer
who did you think i was
Just realized this is basically (Phish - Wolfman's Brother). Just a half step down. (Wolfman is A#). Do yourself a favor and youtube that funk.

Who did you think i was.
Great track, but the end is just BUM, stop. It could use a smoother end with some space to end the song.
václav hanusekv this happens all the time. Drives me mad, that abrupt ending.

It´s actually A Dorian

You going to have to do better than this all I hear is slow pathetic riffs. Speed it up have a bridge or middle 8 and keep to under 7 mins...ITS THAT SIMPLE.
