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.
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. ua-cam.com/video/ZlI5hRsx4Tg/v-deo.html
💛 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'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!
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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!
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.
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.

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

The chord progression is a killer.
Yes
I find myself all over the fret board on this one. it ts awesome.
Still my favorite track even after two years

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
easily one of the best backing tracks out there. The bit with the sample solo at the end only certified that fact
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 UA-cam backing tracks
It's because people are using his tracks free on youtube and not supporting him through his Patreon - or buying his tracks
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.
This was a very fun jam!
Woah you play?
@@swingush2225 Just a bit. Not real well.
This is my go too warmup for my Motown/ & R/B set list
this is such a beautiful smooth jam. tracks like these just make me want to quit everything and become a jazz player

YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST COMPOSER I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

Same! Love this channel
This remains one of my favourite backing tracks - really lovely.
I come back to jam over this all the time since it came out
A very fine groove for a lazy summerday!!!!
That solo was a SPICY meat ball!!!!!!
playing sax along with this is killer
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

More like this. Great track allowing for smooth, easy-going jazzy licks, right into full-blown "You're eating this minor pentasandwich" territory.
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😂😂
The most beautiful backing track i have ever jammed to

It's so cool your tracks as if I'm jamming right beside you. Thank you!
This is a track that I love to play over and over!!!!!!!!!
A beautiful solo at the end! Great playing!
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
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
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!
liked for the backing track. subscribed for the solo. masterful
I sincerely thank you for these great tracks which are extremely helpful for my learning journey.
If I become a successful guitarist it's because of you
i dont even play, i just listen to this so often I LOVE IT
Your videos help me and others achieve their goals. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Damn!! That solo!! Thanks for everything
Holy Mother thank you thank you this is awesome!
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 💜💜
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
Jesus you are out of this world dude

Solo at the end was tasty af

@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
@@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.

@@KendrickCreates ah ok. So the light purple notes are like the stay away from notes ?
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
