A Major Jam Track I ii

[@bluetongueliz8734]

So I guess this is it. All of it finally makes sense. It's not just random fretting on the fingerboard but something understandable and systematic. I never thought that I could play actually jam out. Thank you SPJ! This made me so happy to try.

[@pizrux6592]

I thought the same thing 😂

[@SF9513-y1h]

I know, it's crazy. I started playing the a major pentatonic on top of this and totally expected shit but it fits. It's so cool

[@CrowClouds]

I've been learning caged for the last like 8 weeks and this is exactly how I feel right now because I finally learned it, all of it. And this is the first jam track I tried it with and it was so fun and this the top comment. Wow

[@johanlangthang4127]

From Zero to feel-like-CarlosSantana because of SPJ. Thank you so much SPJ.

[@dalesteiner2380]

These videosQ help me a lot. My leads to those don’t sound like scales anymore. LMFAO.

[@TwoOnTheTar]

Your CAGED video was a game changer for me. Thank you for being you..talented, giving, generous and down to earth. I learned more from your tutorials in 2 weeks than I had in 10 years, thank you so very much. You are an excellent Teacher. 🍎🥟

[@mariewilson345]

I feel the same way!

[@ngophuthanh]

Scott is phenomenon. Never thought I could learn and play guitar. Thank you, Teacher.

[@wagonet]

hope you one day do more of these, if not. i will cherish this one. very few chill 2 chord backing tracks in ALL of youtube. i keep coming back to this.

[@marqueeog5284]

It's been 8 years since I started playing from open chords to bar chords to simple solos i was fed up of imitating other artist's work and now finally i am here trying new things. I am in love with my guitar all over again. SPJ you the almighty.

[@andrewk8532]

your music theory videos changed my life. thank you for being the only person who can teach music theory in an understandable format.

[@SeattleJamTracks]

Thank you, Andrew. I really appreciate that.

[@Kevin-db9iy]

started playing along with this track this morning, first time to play with a backing track, got lost in the zone. I was the lead guitarist on my classical guitar. late for work.

[@robjulian6134]

Ayee, Hahah I’m just starting rn. And I feel better when I’m playing guitar with this backing track. I random fretting. Can u give me some tips to understand this track

Scott your such a good teacher, so clearly understood and easy to follow along. I’ve learned more from you in such a short period in time, than I have in the last five years of frustration.Thanks Scott

[@JENNE2141]

After all those months I finally understand what is Penta.. thanks SPG .. your the legend I finally understand now

[@kevincoverstutorials475]

SPJ you are the most loved guitar teacher. And for good reason. I can't get enough of your videos. Will be joining your Patreon!

[@lancecass8997]

Finally. Jam tracks that Just focus on I-ii, or I-V. These are great and actually useful for learning your turnarounds. Love it. Keep it up. I'm gonna give you some recommendations.

[@SeattleJamTracks]

Can't wait to do a lesson on how to go about using these videos to their full potential.

[@lancecass8997]

@@SeattleJamTracks that would be amazing. I get a ton of questions on here about how to apply what they're learning. And most jam tracks are too complex for people just starting. I've been looking for ones just like this. Sending viewers your way.

This video is literally life changing for a guitar beginner.

[@adobe3910]

If you play any D note on the fretboard when the backing hits Bm, it sounds sweet . Good work Scott

[@AnAverageDude]

I watched ONE video from that Scott dude and OMG I just spent the last 2 hours JAMMING and having so much fun to all of these backing tracks.

[@Acolis]

this is really helping me build me scale proficiency and not only that is also helping me work on chord changes and is challenging me to find target notes and chord tones. its not the most musical thing i have ever played but im making it up on the spot and when it hits right it feels great. it makes me want to rewind the entire track and try to hit those target notes again

[@Drajjadm]

It's really a great music Very cool and inspiring. THANKS Scott.

[@silviorcr]

One of the best backing tack in A that i have find until now! Absolutely brilliant!

Just played over this on my alto sax. Learning to jam and this was AMAZING. Felt like i just wasnt understanding something until this.

[@filippa6839]

[@ricardosalas6408]

Scott, please do a video just you jamming to this song from beginning to end. Then we can try to get the same vibe you are getting. Once I got the entire neck figured out and almost without having to look, the next BIG thing is to get a feeling for the phrasing! I still sound 50% mechanical. Thanks so much!!!! Never thought I could do this...

Your video on how to solo was a game changer! First day using the first practice technique. Fingers are real sore lol

[@paullee2449]

Bloomin' marvellous. Really enjoyed that. Adding to bookmarks. I played A Mixolydian and B Phrygian. Which sounded OK, though not sure of the theory behind that, but they had a lot of common notes whilst being based around A Major and B Minor.

[@ManuelPerez-fd9qj]

I’m really happy for having found a teacher like you that have the ability to teach in a a way that anyone can learn the skills of guitar My English is not so good because I’m from Puerto Rico but I understand very well your lessons and have learned too much from you Continue being a professor like you are God bless you

I don't think you mentioned on your main channel that this is your channel too, you simply linked to this. You should encourage your subbers to come here and sub as well, and vise versa. Smart move making a separate channel for this. Keeps things tidy and increases revenue

Useful, well explained. Appreciated

[@investingadvice9211]

[@ReMaxCannonBeach]

Super cool stuff, new to music theory, not sure what the I-ii in A major means... is there a lesson on what it means and how/when to apply it? Thanks- Marty

[@SeattleJamTracks]

I'm working on that lesson!

[@joerocket1000rr]

in A major , the rest of the chord progression is Bm Cm D E Fm and g diminished ( which no one ever uses hahaha ) . So A major is the 1 chord , Bm and Cm are the 2 and 3 chord , D and E are the 4 and 5 chord and Fm is the 6 chord , hope that makes sense, also the way it is written , as in I ii , represents major and minor , so it would all look like this , I ii iii 4 5 vi

[@SeattleJamTracks]

Bung! you’ve got it right except for one crucial thing: the key of A Major has three sharps, so the chords will actually be I = A major ii = B minor iii = C#minor IV = D major V = E major vi = F# minor vii = G# diminished You’ve got it, but you gotta make sure you make a major scale using WWHWWWH

[@sunburstflight]

I found this track very useful as I can move from I to ii to I in triads up and down the neck. Do you have any more I-ii tracks in other keys? Thanks

[@SeattleJamTracks]

Not yet, but that sounds like a fun idea

[@OrbisTertiusChannel]

Can someone please, please... please tell me. Why the chord of B Minor goes good with a something in A Major? Thanks!

[@SeattleJamTracks]

Hey! I've got two videos on my main channel (Scott Paul Johnson) about it. I'd recommend watching videos in this order to understand 1. How to Make Major Scales on Guitar kzbin.info/www/bejne/hovVZZmof9mZmpY 2. Major Scale into Chords kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3PVYndpdsyhlc0 3. Live Lesson! Chords in a Key kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZiopa15l5mDbZY

[@damionallen8812]

Can i ask for some clarification as to what is rolling across the screen. Is the scale changing from B minor to A major back and forth?

[@SeattleJamTracks]

Hi Damion - Roman numerals represent chords! Each of the 7 notes of a major scale can be made into a chord. The roman numerals represent each note of the scale, but as a chord. The A Major is the "I" chord because it's the chord based on the first note of the scale. The B minor is the "ii" chord because it's based on the 2nd note of the scale.

[@carlos.deoliveirafilho]

amazing!!!!!

For Spark Amp owners, you can search this video in the app, and get a little visual assistance on the chord changes!

If you're using the G shape pentatonic scale, put your 4th finger on A, not your index finger... try that?

@@SeattleJamTracks Exactly. And practice th "sense" and sound of the major scale, tryn to end your phrases on the root (A)

[@iboiman237]

Hi what does I ii mean

[@vertyqaull]

I know you probably won't read this since im two years late but the "I" means its the root (first chord in the scale). Its capitalized because its a major chord. And the "ii" means its the submediant (second chord in the scale). That one is _not_ capitalized because its a minor chord
