All of Me : Backing Track (140 bpm)

[@guitareimprovisation]

If you want other backing tracks to be published, please give me your suggestions :-)

[@jaimalik7329]

Do you think you could do Don't Get Around Much Anymore by Duke Ellington in C Major. It's a great song, especially with Ella Fitzgerald singing over it. A backing track would help me with my improv so much. Thank you for putting out this kind of content.

[@voxwah75]

Can you do Just Friends from Sonny Rollins meets Hawk?

@Anders Lian Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

I'm 66 years old and have played AT bass for a long time. I have recently been asked to join in a quartet of seasoned musicians to work a few holiday parties. I was introduced to the "Real Book" series and it is a difficult task with scores alone. Your backing tracks are saving me as I prepare. I enjoy reading the questions and answers that some present to you. Thank you for a job well done. %

All of me Why not take all of me Can't you see I'm no good without you Take my lips I want to lose them Take my arms I'll never use them Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry How can I go on dear, without you You took the part that once was my heart So why not take all of me

Great Comping. It may be a great teaching tool to show how you comp against your tracks.

[@ezequielfretes4365]

espectacularrrrrrrr

[@TreyAgnew810]

thank you for this, are there any slower tempo versions?

[@ittinanintaranan8902]

Could you explain why using Dm6 instead of Dm7? Thanks.

[@guitareimprovisation]

Sure : Dm6 is more resolutive than Dm7, and more used in 30's and 40's jazz. More dissonant, but more resolutive. You can play both, but I prefer Dm6.

[@ittinanintaranan8902]

Thanks.

[@jo201050]

because its gipsy jazz. its all about the 6 in those chords

[@guitareimprovisation]

@@jo201050 No, not at all.

[@davidsilverfield835]

Awesome

[@annonymeandfish]

Whats that chord after the first Am6 ? The D7. I love the sound it makes and I can’t quite reconstruct it!

[@magicbusboy]

d7 sharp 11 :)

[@annonymeandfish]

Thanks!

[@waveyan]

Also the voicing he uses is (if you are playing guitar) D string 10th fret, G string 11th fret, B string 9th fret. If you are not playing guitar the notes are C, F#, G#, in that order from lowest to highest

[@MarkFromHawaii]

I like the Dalt7 in the 13th bar. Very hip.

[@emersoncristino9028]

Se louco que timbre massa parabéns arregaçou top demais sou seu fã ❤️🎸

[@ruthlawson581]

Cant follow this what key is it in??

[@armerius1]

C Major, you can use your C Major scale thru most of the piece; although, there are some chords you must consider play with it´s own scales: A7 (A Mixolidyan), E7 (E Mixolydian).

[@jrocket7368]

bro id love a lesson on you chord choices

[@claudiopalagini3579]

Please explain why you wrote D7 and play D7b5 in the backing track. Thanks!

[@jasonrobling7536]

When playing a jazz chart, it is just a framework and meant to be embellished with more interesting chords. Especially the V (5) chord. You hardly ever hear a straight dominant 7 in jazz.

[@pierregasparmusique]

merci

[@boatnakub5859]

I love you

[@hanitnov8386]

I like the drums. What compeny is it?

[@xlfc]

May I ask in which key it is? Is it in Cmaj? ....and when you play for example that C6 chord, is that an inversion in that second bar? Answer please.

[@aus1070]

Well, it's initially in C major, but with lots of alterations like the E7, A7, D7, and Fm7. To solo over this you would outline the chords with corresponding scales and arpeggios. As far as C6 goes it is the same as a C7 seven chord, but instead of a 7th, there is a 6th. The notes would be C, E, G, and A. Over this chord you could play C major but you could also play C Mixolydian or whatever sounds good to you. Hopfully this helps!

[@xlfc]

Nice, thanks for the answer :-) But you've answered just the first half of my question :-D the second half was about that C6 chord (for example) - if it's an inversion in that second bar or what? Cause' it sounds different than in the first bar... By inversion I mean: C6 = C, E, G, A, first inversion = E, G, A, C, etc...

[@itswoodyonbass]

Sorry this is a bit late but it still holds. The second chord is less of an inversion and more of just a little flourish. He just moves up from the G at the top of the chord to an A, two frets above, and plays the E below it. So it's a "chord" of just E and A, which is just the two chord tones (3rd and 6th) of the C6 chord. You could say it's a skeleton chord, like a rootless inversion. The bass however plays an A on beat 1, which hints at the chord of A7 (ACEG) which, being the dominant chord of D major, leads nicely into the D7 on bar 3. Overall it's a really nicely put together track.

[@inigofustermusica7594]

Is there a rhythm chart for this backing track.

[@jeremiahgarcia4757]

Hey which scale can I use in this track ?? Please answer :)

[@dronecuber7032]

I think it’s in C maybe?

[@jeremiahgarcia4757]

No like can I use Mixolydian or like a major scale ?

[@Cyprous]

in Jazz we play over the changes, that means u need change scales in some points of progression. The primary and essential thing is learn all arpeggios of all chords you playing, and them play the arpeggios in the right momments and change in the right momment using the right arppegio and using target notes are good too, for example use the 3rd of each chord to start the phrasing , (its not mandatory but it helps to make your line make sense), after you know all the basic arppegios start add some notes from the scales of each chord, for example in Dm7 u can play Dm7 Doric ( C Major scale) and use this knowledge to all chords, enjoy and have fun :)

[@theresafreis]

Lush Life? Possibly a full step down (original Db, I think)

[@dishwasherdetergent3366]

you want it in B? that's certainly... unusual

[@v3gadabeat478]

What is the key?

[@samoyarzabal9335]

C. The first chord is usually the key center.

[@annonymeandfish]

@@samoyarzabal9335 Yes but lets be careful! its not always the case!

What does the % mean?

[@deadbydawndk]

Repeat the chord that came before the %. For example I C6 I % I basically means I C6 I C6 I..

[@zakariahoufi]

I think It means "play again", so you should play the same chords in 2 bars.

[@chuckmurphy4948]

@@job9650 you should leave the 5s and 9s out when playing the 7 chords..... Dm7 G7 Cma7 can be played as Cmajor throughout .....on Dm7 G7#5-9 Cma7 you can play Ab melodic minor over the altered G7 ...... if you lay off the 5s and 9s when playing the 7 chords you leave the soloist free to make those choices

[@Boldstrummer]

wrong tune

[@viktorolofsson1922]

Nice! Except that you didn't get the chords right. Which is kind of basic in a backing track.

[@guitareimprovisation]

Ok, what chord is wrong ?

[@viktorolofsson1922]

In 2.16 with D7 for example. An altered scale would be much better there. When i read it i read a regular D7 mixolydian instead.

[@viktorolofsson1922]

2.30 You have altered again and it stands A7.

[@guitareimprovisation]

Ha, ok... All the 7 chords are altered, you don't have to write it in the chart (otherwise it would be impossible to read) and it's comping choice. To notice it you have to hear and adapt your playing (in a band it usually works the other way of course)

[@guitareimprovisation]

Lol, "altered scale would be better" ? Do you have a good experience in comping, and did you transcribe many compings and solos before saying that ? I think you should ask questions instead of afffirming things in such a way, you'll progress much faster.

I realize this not for beginers but I can read notes but for timing I rely a lot on recognizing the tune hence I use backing tracks a lot but with this one I had difficulty finding the melody as a violin player
