Bb Blues (110bpm) : Backing track

[@brandontheblinddude5302]

As an alto saxophone player, this track is awesome. I love improvising to it.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Brandon Cox just curious have you tried G blues over it. Also not a horn player..is G blues hard to play on a trumpet?

[@Lor40]

[@julianjulezstanleyredding5333]

hi i'm not used to playing along but want to start trying to see how it goes . Are those the right chords to use for an alto sax or do i need to transpose them intto another key or something ? Really appreciate any replies . Just a novice trying to get along .

[@zeldaknip]

tenor here!!! love improvising over this, much more pleasing than hearing my trombone section blare my ears out in jazz!!!

Incredibly relatable, fellow tenor, sit in front of Trombones, they're all not very good and out of tune and just pain

I just got into Jazz 1 (Trumpet) and Jazz 2 (Trombone) my freshmen year of high school, and this has been a major help so far with the blues scale, improvising, and solos. This video is amazing!!!

[@Elilikesjazz]

Woah 😮, Congrats dude, that’s great🎉

[@tunmi13prod]

Thanks a lot! My band teacher uses this for our B flat major blues scale. We were having a blues conversation with our instruments, each taking turns for 4 measures improvising with this track. It was fun.

[@guitareimprovisation]

Cool ! This is a great exercise :-)

[@RoseCadenza]

So does our jazz band. We do that sometimes as well. We do improvising as a warm up.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Just for fun try playing G blues down a minor third.. I do Georgia on my mind jazz version in F maj. Playing around in D blues sounds great. I especially like playing it over the Bb7 four dominant chord. I don't know how it will sound.

[@OLL13VR]

Thank you so much. im a trombone player and i needed something that i could do a jazz improve to and this worked great!

[@hobieslittlesibling]

Literally my exact thoughts

[@CodyWilson-wz8ov]

My band director for Jazz band has us play to this and everyone gets a chance to solo for 12 measures I think it’s a great way to start reversal👍

[@Clipz_Daily365]

This probably is the wrong place to ask but HOW DO YOU EVEN DO IMPROV 😭

[@Ryan16823GRW]

use a scale and play different notes on it

[@pixelgam3r823]

Learn a Major or Pentatonic scale and mess around with the different notes

[@mrlucius57]

Use the chord tones of each chord as reference let your ears guide you. Start in .50x speed

[@brenreee]

just get the feel of the background and let your ears do the talking through your instrument

[@Just_4bby]

Ima jazz piano and idk if this is the right backing track for my class but it’s still great for improv

[@richardsplett]

I have a question for anyone. So I found the Bflat Dorian scale to fit, and not the Bflat major. It definitely doesn't sound like an Aflat major tune because of the root tone but it still falls on that scale. I guess I don't understand how something could use two different scales but be in the same key. I'm probably missing something but would it be more accurate to say this is in Bflat Dorian or is that extenuous?

[@guitareimprovisation]

It's a good question, and a very common on. I have a video about it but it's in french : kzbin.info/www/bejne/gneqg3homqeVbsk Here's my anwser : the key chord here is Bb7, not Ab, hence all the notes you play sound relatively to this Bb7 (Ab sounds like a m7 and Bb like a root). Thinking "the Ab major scale" doesn't help you memorizing the feeling (or "role") that each note will have, but thinking everything relatively to Bb (the Bb dorian mode) will help you. So you have to learn this dorian mode like if it's a new scale, and memorise the interval and sound of each note. For this topic, the theory that you know doesn't help you because you think about "the major scale this mode comes from" and this is something you want to slightly get away from :-) I hope this helps
