Ngl, jamming the D minor scale over this track has been one of the most fun experiences I've had while playing guitar and this is coming from a metal guitarist.
i never thought i could do improvisation on guitar and then i magically play along i didnt even realize the song ends. thank you so much, this helps a lot!
WOW. I learned so much from this video. You helped so much with the advice/captions and scales. I will be back to donate in the next 2 weeks and subscribing now. You are awesome. I hope you see and like this comment so I remember to come back ❤🎉
Hands down the best backing track ive ever used. I love how you incorporated the scales into the video, it helped SO MUCH with improving. Love it. Thanks again!
I’m so happy I started learning the shapes of these different modes!!!! This back tracking with the scales included ❤️. I’m gonna start making this guitar sing. Pretty happy over here. Thanks
Big thanks for this! This is an excellent backing track for my D minor handpan drum! I've had good luck with guitar backing tracks. Metal drums are very difficult to find good backing tracks for, especially if they're in another key, the drum can sound really off-key. Banging on metal objects also tends to cut through the sounds of other instruments but this track has enough weight to be heard over other sounds. Thumbs up! I'll be using this backing track again!
D harmonic minor sounds best over this track, emphasis on the a Phrygian dominant once it goes back to the beat. Using d minor pentatonic and d minor blues in between certain areas also sounds mint
You would want to call that second chord Bflat instead of Asharp in this context, since D minor is the relative minor of F major. And there is also a Bflat in the next chord (G minor), so it's helpful also to think of that Bflat as a common tone.
Loving using the modes .. i never done that before ...oh the flavours aeolian at 12 position then as the chord progression builds towards the end jump back into the minor pentatonic haha im gary moore now!
i just did a video Dminor improv and thought of this same thing ! awesome ! if you want to check it out here it is have a good one ! ua-cam.com/video/a8wv4eLpitE/v-deo.html
this is really great quality and I was totally digging it - until the ad came in in the middle. perhaps not the fault of the uploader, but backing tracks like this need ads limited to before or after the video or as a separate pop up - not something that has a chance to interrupt the video. was really vibing with it! no worries, continued on after the ad, just wanted to give my 2 cents
The scale diagram is the best addition to any of these kinds of jamming track videos. And ypure tue first ive come across to do it. Any chance you'll be doing the other modes with visual aides as well? Subbed!
Thanks. I was first inspired to do it by my fellow Now You Shred. He has some great tracks you have to check his channel out. I already have some modes backing tracks, just visit my channel and you will easily find them.
Great track. Thanks. I really like the style and clarity. I think it would make more sense to label the A#Maj as a BbMaj, to identify it clearly as the VI of D Minor. Thanks.
Really nice track! Not sure if you care, but D minor is normally written with one flat (a Bb), so the chord is normally called Bb, rather than A# as in the description. Written with sharps the key signature would have eleven sharps would be called some crazy like C## minor.
A very musical and enjoyable track to play over. Your chord changes should be Dm BbMaj7 Gm7 A7 though. The A# chord is enharmonic but incorrect. I hope you don’t mind the suggestion. Thanks for creating the track.
I'm really reading that A-sharp chord as B-flat instead, which is a perfectly normal chord in D minor. You really have to go through some non-Euclidean twists to get to A-sharp from D minor....... :)
You can play all the notes shown in the diagrams anytime. Highlighted in green only shows you one position to play the scale. However, the best approach is to play the notes that are included in each chord of the progression.
@@chusssMusic Thank you. I've not too long started learning the guitar and I don't really know all he ins and outs of theory yet. I wanted to be self taught but it's hard knowing where to start so I'm probably gonna have to just get lessons. Lol. Thanks again!!
It don't phase me The thought of you out getting wasted Calling somebody else "baby" I don't need your love anymore, hmm-hmm Why you chase me? Now that I'm over you lately And I wouldn't mind if you erased me I don't need your love anymore Used to breathe you, see you in my dreams Now I wake up, you don't cut as deep You can try and cry and kick and scream It just don't phase me at all It just don't phase me at all It just don't phase me at all It just don't phase me at all, all, all, all, all Do you miss it? I was all in and committed Thought you would change, but you didn't And it doesn't hurt like before, hmm-hmm Used to breathe you, see you in my dreams Now I wake up, you don't cut as deep You can try and cry and kick and scream It just don't phase me at all It just don't phase me at all It just don't phase me at all It just don't phase me at all, all, all, all, all It just don't phase me at all It just don't phase me at all It just don't phase me at all It just don't phase me at all, all, all, all, all It just don't phase me at all
This is amazing, I've been playing to this for weeks. Question: If D Minor has the same notes as F Major, why A is a Major chord here and not Minor being the 3rd of the F major scale?
You are right, but it is a common approach to change the 5th chord to major instead of minor, Then you can play the harmonic minor scale instead of natural minor. It gives the progression a different taste rather than plain sad/minor sound.
i have been checking your videos thank you so much for all the tips i beleive that this is the best way to learn impro thank you again and pliiz don't stop the great work
Love these tracks, but man, ads in the middle are a real bummer. I've noticed that more and more on backing tracks. I totally get that ads are necessary, but just wish they were at the beginning or end.
@@GregRickardIt' enharmonic I wrote it wrongly :p I don't think I could explain better than wikipedia since I'not English But if I could just explain it's like you take a note (take A# for the exemple) than there is another name for it : here it's Bb here are a few enharmonics : A# = Bb E# = F C = B# Here is the wikipedia : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enharmonic
The track is great, but you really should learn theory IF you are going to give people advice/instruction. (It is not necessarily a prerequisite when making/producing music). There is no A# in D minor, it is the B note that becomes Bb flat. This is NOT a simple detail, things get far more confusing when you try build chords in that manner, because you can not simply have an A natural and A sharp at the same time:) So, the chords used actually are Dm Bb Gm A.
I totally agree. I am self taught and I thought this could be a useful video visually. Then I came to understand the difference between a raised second and a flat 3rd. I make sure to fix that in new videos. Thanks for taking the time to give me your advise.
@@chusssMusic WOW... I have witnessed a critique and no explosion but rather logical and well taken... on you tube.... I salute you good sir. Tolga also makes a good point Thank you both for encouraging discussion,. the world needs more of you
@@chusssMusic Hi. It is a valid point as conceded by your good self. A little humility can certainly increase learning. The scale you would use over the A chord would be a D Harmonic minor as opposed to the Natural minor (Aolean). That simply means playing the 7th interval sharp. In other words playing a C sharp instead of the C. A has a C sharp in it whereas A minor has the C. The Harmonic minor can work well on the other chords as well as long as they do not have a C in them. Hope that helps. Great tracks. Keep them coming.

i, like many other people i assume, had a great breakthrough with this track. thanks for the upload
Glad you enjoyed it
Jamming to the whole song felt so good
Enjoy
That VI to V diatonic chord progression gets me everytime, damn!
Thank you
This is super helpful learning to outline chords while getting out of the comfort of the parent scale shape with that majorified 5 chord! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
When you get to that M5 chord you can play outside... harmonic minor... diminished... whole tone or whatever you wish
D harmonic minor sounds best over this track, emphasis on the a Phrygian dominant once it goes back to the beat. Using d minor pentatonic and d minor blues in between certain areas also sounds mint
Hi. I'm learning to improvise and this track
Is by far the best one to
Follow.. Plus your help
On following the notes
Many thanks Kevin......

the most inspirational backing track ever. i suggest you to use d harmonic minor on the end chord
Right you can play the harmonic minor along with that 7 chord. If you like you can find similar backing in other keys on my channel. Em Am Fm and Gm
Loving using the modes .. i never done that before ...oh the flavours aeolian at 12 position then as the chord progression builds towards the end jump back into the minor pentatonic haha im gary moore now!
vary good,, I got a dreamy solo going with this one, I can't play your scales,, lol I have to use mine.
D Minor- the saddest of all keys
According to Nigel Tufnel. If I recall correctly, his song "Lick My Love Pump", was in D minor.

@@chusssMusic how can I download this audio track?
good track. Technically the top pattern is A Phrygian, not D Aeolian. But they both belong to F Major/D Natural Minor, so they function.
Since the A chord is Major and the dominant, it would be good to use D Harmonic Minor-D E F G A Bb C# D
I'm really reading that A-sharp chord as B-flat instead, which is a perfectly normal chord in D minor. You really have to go through some non-Euclidean twists to get to A-sharp from D minor....... :)

When A major chord is playing, you can also play D harmonic minor scale :)

also try the 9th fret on the e-string during the 4th chord

D should be marked as minor in the chord sequence.
In fact the full should be
Dmin - Bb - Gmin - A
Chords for this backing track: D minor - Bb major - G minor - A major
Was jamming then got an add from Tommy Hilfiger. Besides that, great track.
Nice
This is so great..thanks
Cool... but why do we have The A chord, not the Am chord ? if we follow the harmonization of the range ?
It is just a common approach to use major V chord instead of minor. You can use the harmonic minor scale with this one.
@@chusssMusic thanks !
I've just noticed it sounds like Anytime by MSG
Don't forget to play harmonic minor over the A Major chord.

can i use this to improvise over and put on my social media? i would give you credit and put the link to your video/bandcamp
Do it, But if you could buy the track from Bandcamp it would help.
Bb is the same as the sound with A# but in theory, in the C minor scale "B" should exist.
100% B is the 6th of D major, in case of D minor it has to be lowered a half step along with the 3rd and 7th so it becomes Bb.
This is fun fun fun.
