Very difficult tune to play in my opinion, but this video and backing track for it most definitely is a great source for awesome band accompaniment. With the great chord visual this video gives you, and the stellar backing track as well, this is a great backing track to use!
I do not know a lick(get it) of jazz. But this is so fucking fun and chill to try to improvise to. Even if I’m not good at it, I like finding different bass lines that sound like they could work. Or even just different sets of notes haha.
However, if you need a Practice Mode Version of this song, click here: ua-cam.com/video/5f3yoNSxkyc/v-deo.html Now that will give you a nice giant step to mastering this tune!
single note solos are not hard at all - if one can hum and keep time - ANYONE - can do it... playing partial chords around the changes is much harder. the changes are so open-ended almost anything works. in a weird way it sounds like noodling. much prefer naima!

Imagine you're Tommy Flanagan and you're begin given this new sheet for the first time, and you're recording in 30 minutes.
I'd cry a little
Yeah and show up to the session only to learn that the actual tempo isn't a ballad as you thought.
@@josejuliosuarez exactly
In 300 BPM 😂
Hahaha
to the fellas rippin through this at 1.25.. hats off to you... keep sheddin
I'm having a lot of fun with this. Its good to be retired
I couldn't imagine myself even coming close to this a few months ago. Practice is amazing.
I'm in the same boat! What a rush. Whew.
Oh well, I just started the other day, slowly getting better at it. :)
i find practising on single strings to get the hand shapes / transitions really helpful - that and voice leading. how are you practising over it?
@@alexgibson2871 I'm a piano player so my practice is a little different, it depends if I'm practicing soloing or comping.
been practicing to this video for years, finally able to make it through, what an invaluable resource thank you!!
Tommy Flanagan at 0:02 "ok time to kill this ballad"
Tommy Flanagan at 0:05 "*WAIT WHA-*"
I'm having fun with this track a lot.
Your tracks are the best. First call for backing tracks. Such a great feel and great compings. Thank you.

Mr. Wiggler yeah true about the tuning, just remember though that Coltrane played *incredibly* sharp during his solos and such and it kinda suited it.
Yummysauce haha oh wow alright after all this time so this was meant for another comment anyway...
no worries my guy, you're just fashionably late, just like me
This is amazing, thank you for the cool track
Definitely the best backing track for Giant steps. Any chance of bpm 240 same style. Great to solo over this Thank you again. so appreciate it. James
You can change the playback speed on settings.
@@pormigal1230 Thank you I didn't know that. Just tried it. Very useful. J
james there are any number of free daws you can download and then speed up/slow down to your heart's content.
put at 1.25 for actual speed
speed 2 if you arent a coward
@@handdancin 😂😂😂
Please don't make my life harder than it already is...
The real tempo is 288
@@handdancin well I'm a little bitch so...
Some nice jazz club background music.
OH GOD NO IT'S GIANT STEPS BUT wait this actually works.
Thank you!!!
I'm gonna cry
~Thank you again. Your charts and backing tracks are really great. So appreciate your hard word Warm regards James

just when you think you are ridin this bull, the thing will buck you right off
I can almost play it at this tempo
I got a plug-in that lets me slow it to any percentage. Got it at 90-95 for now
Whoever is here from the 150 bpm one, congrats!
I'm slowly getting there....
Used in one of my videos. Gave a mention. Subbed.
nice
That moment when you make fun of tommy flanagan and then slowly realize you would have fucked it up even worse than he did...
Fantastic! Which software do you use for making the video?

Stick to the fives and you'll always sound good.
Me looking around for the .005 speed setting to practice 🤨
Easiest jazz standard
👍👍👍
Is there any "magical" scale which works over all these chords? :D
Martin Šaroch Chromatic scale :)
I've heard Eb fits over most of it. Haven't tried it yet, don't have my trombone with me ):
B Major, Eb Major, and G major. But I don't think there is one scale to fit all these chords.
Talent works.
@@Jplent1 and here? lol
someones self important about their jazz skills
wish i could play over 251
start by playing the major pentatonic scale of the 1 over the 2 5, then use the major pent. of the 5 when playing on the 1
Yea um I'll stick to blue bossa haha
Coltrane's take was even faster.
I made a video of me playing Giant Steps blindfolded on my channel. Hope it's okay that I used your play-along.
Nice ! Yes, as long as you put a link in description of the video, according to the Creative Commons licence. Thanks !
oh, so you've choosen death.
this is so easy lol
