One of the best backing tracks on youtube and I have played to hundreds of them. You can play this so many different ways.

I absolute love it . This is probably the only John Mayer style backing track which actually sounds like him . Great job

Whoever you are who played this , you have the gift , what beautiful tone and feel . You channeled John Meyer , I don’t even want to play over it and spoil it 🙏🏻😁

So much feeling. Almost came to tears improvising on this :D

Probably one of the best guitar jam tracks of all time.

Great track. Sounds awesome, still leaves a lot of room for my guitar to bloom while soloing over it. Good job

Ive played over hundreds of backing tracks but this one is just one of a kind.. amazing. The chord progression touches your soul, the guitar part is just beautiful. JM would approve 100%.

Nice job man! ...put it on to improvise to and wound play the rhythm with you ...

It refers to the classic 1, 3,4,1 progression made famous in songs like fooled around and fell in love and the weight. It is in fact a sort of turnaround that's very useful in those sorts of songs. The turnaround usually terminates in a cm7-B-Am a couple times before returning to the 1-3-4-1.

Agree. Did you try it in the relative E major? If you did you think it sounded good- trying to decide which I like better. Mostly the same notes +2 gives it a different flavor. I might lean towards just C#m. Sometimes less is more. This progression is deceptively simple yet nice. JM really likes his C#m7.

Yes you can. As all Major scale also known as Ionian Mode has a Minor related to it. C Major Scale = AM Pentatonic Scale D Major Scale = BM Pentatonic Scale E Major Scale = C#M Pentatonic Scale F Major Scale = DM Pentatonic Scale G Major Scale = EM Pentatonic Scale A Major Scale = F#M Pentatonic Scale B Major Scale = G#M Pentatonic Scale So As the song is it C#M. Either you improvise in E Major Scale or C#M Pentatonic Scale

What would an interesting chorus or bridge progression be with this? I struggle with that a lot. I come up with a nice verse progression but then don’t know where to take it.

@GraysonKade

4 жыл бұрын

A lot of great bridges maintain a pretty similar chord structure to the verses/choruses. You may switch some chords around like instead of going from A to bm to G# maybe start on bm then go to G# and back to A. But the main thing I think makes great bridges is just the dynamics and the feel used. Some great bridges are the exact same chords but played with build-ups, finger picked, etc. Just experiment.

@latoth556

One tip that use often is enter a birdge on the relative major & vice versa. In this case it’s a HUGE Open E that you can smash out. Will completely change the tone of the progression while staying in the same key✌️

I wish you could highlight the chord when playing 👌

Try some F# Dorian for a good time on this one.

What’s your recording set up like?

More like E major, relative C# minor. The tone and phrasing are all in E major

Yes well spotted! It definitely has a major feel all round and others have commented that in theory it could even be considered Lydian as the opening chord is A, but the chords are based on the E major scale.

@user-oy7gz5bf2h

5 жыл бұрын

It feels very minor to me. Unless you are referring to minor as being harmonic minor, as classically trained musicians might. To me, A is the 6th chord of the tonic C#m. I know some would call it the 4 chord as it stems from E ionian, but that's not how I was taught nor how I see it. Regardless, I hear minor (aeolian).

Loved the track! Excited to explore the rest of the resources here. I do have a question, though: as a bassist, I naturally played with the backing track, not soloing over it. I started playing an A major scale mostly following the chord changes and locking with the drums, but making it as minimal as possible so it wouldn’t sound too busy. I started with an A major scale, but A Lydian also worked well - perhaps better. Can you tell the reason why? A major and A Lydian both cover the chord roots (A, B, C#, G#), being the only difference the 4th (either a D or a D#). Is there a reason why you mentioned A Lydian instead of A major? Thanks!

@sindenmusic3534

Hi Gabriel, The poster actually explains this in the description. The chords follow the key of E Major or C# minor. They are relative to each other because their notes are the same - much like the A lydian scale. Since the chord progression starts on A and resolves on C# it makes more sense (theoretically) to play your leads over the C# minor key. You've even said it yourself - the difference is a D# versus a D natural. The way that I look at it is with the full chords. You mentioned you're a bassist so root notes will only take you so far when it comes to "modal" progressions. Here are the notes in the chords: A Major - A C# E B Major - B D# F# G#m7 - G# B D# F# C#m7 - C# E G# B Looking through the notes there - you see there are two chords that share the D#. That is why this song would be considered A Lydian. TECHNICALLY you could play A Major over the A Major Chord and the C#m7 Chord but once the B and G#m7 are rung - that D natural will sound awful and out of place. Best to stick to arpeggios or maybe pentatonics in that case.
