    I turned this backing track on as I was taking my guitar out of the case. I paused and then just listened to the track. Very calming. The Rhodes is perfect.

    This is so inspirational . I improvised using an acoustic guitar . Found it very intuitive to play along with and was surprised with the musical and lyrical ideas this generated. I’m speechless. Why is it so good. ?

      I tried to play it on piano ..it didn’t work as well. I felt like the em9 was the beginning chord .. can’t work out why the c maj7 feels like the first bar on your production .. I feel a song coming on …. Amazing

      love this track too. I think it works so well because of the B7alt chord. Also worth noticing the chord progression is quite interesting since the key is Em, so the resolution is delayed quite a bit. Very nice track. Found myself jamming on the guitar for a long time.

    This track is great to work and to Jam !!!
    Slow rythm allow to change the scale according to each chords, short example:
    - CMaj7 ==> E Blues Scale
    - BAlt7 ==> B SuperLocrian everyday
    - Em9 ==> Go for E Aeolian, why not A Dorian
    - A13 ==> Go for E Dorian
    Put in evidence tension and resolution notes:
    - CMaj7 ==> E
    - BAlt7 ==> Eb
    - Em9 ==> Whatever
    - A13 ==> C#
    Thanks for the track !!

  • @dannychoriki1977
    @dannychoriki1977 Рік тому +16

    this B7 altered sound, using the C melodic minor scale is implying some really cool SUPER LOCRIAN tones, followed by a dominant A13 chord for some equally as badass A dorian lines at the end.
    Overall a sick track that I am glad I clicked on. 10/10 would jam again.

    • @pocketjamtracks

    Can someone ecplain why the D# in the B7alt chord and the C# on the A13 sound okay? P.S. This sounds like "What You Won’t Do for Love" by Bobby Caldwell

    • @mayabrad7904
      @mayabrad7904 15 днів тому +1

      It wouldn’t sound good if they were just played back to back, but it’s the fact that the music progresses from chord to chord which makes it okay. Does that make sense? Like, if you were improvising over this track when they were playing the A13 chord, playing the d# wouldn’t be the best idea, because it’s dissonant. It’s just a half step down from one of the main notes in the chord. You COULD play the d# but it just doesn’t fit in the next two chords, so it wouldn’t make a lot of sense. It would cause weird tension in the music.

    • @banjopeet
      @banjopeet 4 дні тому

      Hello there, you have to buy the album that includes the backing track you want to use and give credit by tagging this channel. But it's only for posting on social media like for example if you want to solo over it and share on UA-cam, Instagram, TikTok...
      It's not for Spotify because of copywrite.

    Can somebody explain what this is in a beginner friendly way.. the dots are all the notes that you can play because they belong to the scale right so it will sound right? But what are the numbers and letters on the dots? and in this video there are different scales because it modulates throughout right? Like we go from one key to another ? Thanks guys

    • @pocketjamtracks
      @pocketjamtracks  2 місяці тому +1

      Hey, the dots are all the notes available that work over this backing track, the numbers and letters are the names of the degrees of the scale. But if you don't know theory you can ignore that and just experiment with those notes and play what sounds good to you.

    What are the chord notes for B7 alt ?

    • @pocketjamtracks
      @pocketjamtracks  Рік тому +4

      An altered 7th chord needs an altered fifth and/or ninth.
      In this case I'm playing a B7b13, the b13 is the same as a #5.
      So the notes are B D# G A.
