    For anyone feeling particularly adventurous; This track is best thought of as being in G Maj, and you're doing a II/V groove. Thinking of it like this will make it easier to lock into the tone sequence regardless of where you find yourself. Then, once you've got the groove, you can then get adventurous and start shoving some chromatic runs, or even flip it up between G Maj and C Maj (so it becomes a VI/II groove) for some spicy meatballs (season with care, don't forget the hot sauce).

      Damn, sounds magical, but I think you owe yourself credit; the backing track allowed you a nice flexible platform to continually mess up, & try again, which we all know is essential to figuring out new technique. I'm a guitarist & lately, I've used this track to jam almost every day, because I can throw down a different bass line every time I play, (looper) & it becomes an entirely different jam track. There are multiple modes you can access over this & that makes it an essential tool until I've warn it out, which might be impossible.

    • @JeighNeither
      @JeighNeither 3 роки тому

      @Principatus I'm a guitarist, so I throw down a bass line (PitchFork+Looper) every time I play it, then jam over that, & because it's nearly a blank canvas, depending on the bass line, I can practice multiple modes w/this one track. It sounds like a new track every time I play it, & I haven't come close to running out of new ideas. And I'm a composer, so I can, & do write my own backing tracks, but I keep this one in my library, & play over it often because it's so accessible, & it's fun to see how many different things it can become.

    • @telsonater
      @telsonater 2 роки тому

      All of the notes within the scale are created equally. Some sound better in certain places than others. Try to work with each note individually, as well as in various arrangements in pairs, threes, etc. it’s more about what you do with a note than the notes themselves

      I would just try and keep it simple at first man and then at the end of the 4 bars add a little fill in and keep doing that until you get a feel for it then you can add more in. I am not the best at bass mainly a 6 string player but I have fun trying not to make it too complicated.

But the tonal center implied is G. None of that addresses my assertion that it's not jazz because it doesn't resolve.
