That's great! Thank you very much! Yes, that's why I make these backing tracks! I would be very happy if more people started making music with exactly this approach. Of course music theory and harmony are important - but at the beginning, having fun is the most important thing! Thank you very much!

No, unfortunately my audio tracks are not available on Bandcamp yet. What are you planning to do? Maybe I can help you in another way? Thanks very much for playing along and for your interest in my tracks!

Bandcamp is great for backing tracks when I travel without my laptop. It is quick and easy to use. You should consider it because your tracks are high-quality!

Thank you very much! I've now uploaded the first track to Bandcamp. Let's see how it all works! Have fun! reinholdtracks.bandcamp.com/track/country-pop-1-2m-4-1-chords-in-g-major

I just purchased the track and added it to my playlist. Thank you for doing this!!

Thank you very much! There are probably a few more songs with exactly this chord progression🙂! Have fun! 😎👍 Cheers

Thank you very much! That was the third 1-2m-4-1 track, a total of C major, D major and then G major. Next week there will be a combination of all three tracks, so that it doesn't go on for several minutes in the same key. I hope you have a good week! Have fun!

Prevention is better than cure, I hope! Thank you very much, have fun!

😎👍 Thank you for agreeing to the surprise! All the best!

Thank you very much! I envy you for these great experiences! Unfortunately, I didn't get any closer to TJ than hearing Herb Alpert. I actually went to Texas once and Los Angeles twice, but I don't think that really counts in this context. A friend here worked in San Diego for two years (twenty years ago!) and he also told me about the wonderful, beer-fueled evenings on the beach. Thank you again, all the best! Cheers

😎👍 Thank you for your kind comment! Comments like these mean a lot to me and make me very happy! I hope you continue to enjoy my tracks! Best regards, Reinhold

😎👍 Thank you for your kind comment! I'm glad that my track was able to cheer you up a little! I hope you continue to enjoy my tracks! Best regards, Reinhold

@@reinholdtracks Will do - now too busy to pick up anything bigger than fork - when have time to eat - next week will be another beast to wrestle

😎👍 Thank you! Have fun! 🦋

😎👍 Thank you!🍁

😎👍 Yes, you are absolutely right! I didn't understand your comment at first, so I just googled it. I didn't know this song by Bob Dylan, but, you're right, it is also based on this 1-2m-4-1 chord progression, even occasionally embellished with a sus4. The song has a different groove, but the chord progression is exactly this 1-2m-4-1 framework. I guess there are many more songs with this simple but great chord progression. Thank you for your comment! I learned something new!

😎👍 Thank you very much! I'm now making a 1-2m-4-5 track in G major, and then I'm combining all three tracks to create a track with key changes, namely the 1-2m-4-5 chords of C major, D major and G major. Have fun and thank you for playing along and commenting! Cheers

@@reinholdtracks Are You Kidding Me , You Are Building A Track With These All Incorporated ?!?!?!???? Stoked !! This Will Be Brilliant On So Many Levels - Your Artistic Imagination Will Be Legendary Top Shelf , Cheers

👍😎 Thank you very much and thank you for jamming! I understand your point and of course I ask myself what the "perfect" length for a backing track would be? When I play along myself, I sometimes get bored after 2 minutes - or I could go on and on and on and just can't get enough of it. For me, it's often a question of how I'm feeling on the day or my mood. I hope you continue to have fun with my tracks! All the best! PS: This chord progression will be available in two other keys. And then I'll make a backing track combining all three tracks. It will be longer!

😎👍 Thank you!

😎👍 It's always nice to hear from you!

I have been to the Nova Villa Gallery. 🦋 I am thrilled. Do you sell your artwork?

@@reinholdtracks awww that is lovely. I am so glad you enjoyed the moments there RT. I have so many images I might fly in the Gallery one Day. I am not sure what format to make them available for those that wish to have a copy. I am one year shy of 60 exhausted with so much responsibility caring for 2 delightful Adult Sons living with the challenge of Autism and my Heart also wants to keep releasing my Heart Songs and Poetry in the Wild Wild World whilst also keeping on the Music Learning Journey. It keeps me smiling though most Days. I just finished around 4 hours being in the Flow of a New Song this very day. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIPWYoyrjd-Xb7s Thanks always for inspiring us here to keep on our Music Journey. Cheers, Debs ❤💫

Thank you for sharing information from your life with me. I listened to the song "Love Street" and I love this chord progression. E major, F sharp minor and D major are what you would expect and have heard a thousand times. But the F sharp major makes the whole sequence shine! I'm thinking about producing a backing track with this chord progression. Thank you! Cheers, Reinhold 👍😎

@@reinholdtracks 😎 I appreciate your feedback. I look forward to your backing track. I used a capo on a baritone ukulele (DGBE Tuning) to achieve that moody result. Sometimes I am not fully aware of what notes or chords I am actually playing. I experiment because my theory knowledge is very limited. I hunger to learn more however it is so much to digest with just books. I have a template full of blank chord charts to plot my notes I call it! Then I go on the Journey to figure out what I have actually been playing. Also because I focus mainly each day on learning my Bass I have that element of space in my head as it all comes together too. I like to see what I discover naturally in my own creative process moments then I go looking for the existing labels. I know I do not have to re-invent the wheel however I need to create visual tools for myself to remember the patterns or at times enable my brain to make sense of it all. ❤💫

😎👍 What are you doing these days? Singing, playing bass? Is everything else OK with you?

@@reinholdtracks one day at a time here RT. Music is good Therapy. Thanks for thinking of me. I hope all okay for you.

😎👍 Thank you for playing along and for your many lovely comments!

😎👍 I hope you enjoyed floating!

😎👍 I will be making a few more tracks in different keys using this 1-2m-4-1 chord progression in the future.

@@reinholdtracks I look forward to flying da progression. And I love to IMPROV. Awesome. Thanks RT, Cheers, Debs 😜❤💫

😎👍 Have you tried the full track? Have fun! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5DRiqeoa8Zoj7c

@@reinholdtracks I will when I can chill out for the Week and I will flying it on da Basssssssssss Yay! And wow a new chord pattern well an extension of one I know. E, G♯, B, D and F♯ < E7#9. < Excited! Ha! Ja! Thanks RT. ❤💫

Nice groove

👍😎 Thank you!

Hi Debra, just to be sure: E G# B D F# = E7/9 (D=7, F#=9) But E7/#9 consists of the notes E G# B D F##, the ninth (F#) is raised again! The F## of course corresponds to the note G. And that is why this E7#9 has such enormous tension. Have fun!

Wowwwwwwwwwwwww! Vocal-easin Teasing me too. I love it. Thanks.

😎👍 Honestly, I wasn't away! It's nice to hear from you again! Have fun!

@@reinholdtracks LOL I am back visiting RT Planet till another Song calls me to write it! ❤💫

Thank you very much! I'm always happy about your kind and encouraging comments! Stay strong and let's hope for the best for tonight!

👍😎 Thank you! Have fun!

👍😎 Yes, that makes sense! I think there are probably many more songs with this chord progression! Thank you for singing along!

👍😎Thank you!

👍😎Have fun!

👍😎 Thank you for playing and singing along! I'm looking forward to getting to know this new song! I wish you much success and continued enjoyment with my tracks!

@@reinholdtracks thank you! I love your music and thanks for letting me use your music to sing along to and post here on the Tube. 😊

😎👍 Thank you for playing along! 🦋 Are there any new recordings with your harmonica?

😎👍! Thank you!

😎👍 Thank you! 🦋

👍😎 Thank you!

👍😎 Thank you for playing along!

👍😎 Thank you for your kind comment! I hope you continue to enjoy my tracks!

😎👍Yes, you can do that too. There are so many possibilities...Have fun!

I stole the "stay groovy" saying from you. Thank you!

😎👍 Thank you!

The squirrel feeds itself with difficulty!🙂 Aber es ist mir ein ganz großes Vergnügen, Kommentare wie Ihren zu erhalten! Viel Spaß. Danke fürs Mitpielen!

F Lydian sounds good. Just for fun I also tried G Mixalodean. Sounds weird, but interesting. Thanks for the idea!

@@fredworthmn So you were "homing" on G note - interesting indeed!

👍😎 Thank you for your different perspectives! Yes, it almost seems like a question from geometry to me: which side is "up"? I see the sequence F-G-E minor-F as similar to a stable orbit around a C major planet. At the bottom on the ground is C major (or A minor!) and with each round I can "see" or "feel" the ground but without ever landing. But of course it also makes sense to see F major as "home". The Lydian scale also has something more floating about it (at least for me) in contrast to a fairly stable, "vertical", hard major scale. You could even feel at home in E minor and then stroll around in the almost mythical Phrygian scale. I think it's great that you engage with my tracks like this and share and discuss your thoughts. Thank you very much! I hope you continue to enjoy reinholdtracks and look forward to your comments!

@@reinholdtracks I think the analogy of hovering on C but not landing on C is a good one. I checked a few sources and one example was referred - “Stella By Starlight” by Victor Young (I heard the Miles Davis' version on YT), which apparently doesn't have the standard cadences ("going home"). Usually, I prefer a "home" (for resolutions) but occasionally colouring outside the box can also be fun.

👍😎 You speak from my heart! Thanks again for your clever and friendly comments! I hope you continue to have fun!

Yes, these country blues tracks are quite popular. Have you ever tried out the different keys? OK, country blues in E flat major is almost a bit grotesque, but for a saxophone player it might be just what is really fun. kzbin.info/aero/PLPY6Rb6f6GxSmppdYg3dSGDWMsR4XGQbW All the best, thank you for your kind comments! Best wishes for a great weekend, Cheers
