D Dorian minor backing track for guitar at 120 bpm. This is a jam track for bassists to play along with. Enjoy!

[@JasonGabler]

My jam band fell apart quite a while ago and this has revived my desire to practice. It could never be the same as feeding off everyone taking turns improvising, but this is a close second. Thank you so much for producing and sharing this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Man I can jam on this all day ...oh wait a minute I have been..

Keep coming back to this one. Love it. So deceptively simple and yet offering so many possibilities.

Brings to mind "Any color you like" by Pink Floyd

[@floydallen4005]

You're absolutely "Wright" ( pun intended ) . I've played "Any Colour..." live as part 2 of the 2-for with "Us And Them", and listening to this, yes, I can hear the late great Rick Wright ( or, me when playing it live ) noodling his way up and down his synth with echo on this one. Good ear, my friend. Great tune. Here's a link of some dude doing "Great Gig In The Sky" on solo acoustic guitar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJTbfqCNisxgjMk I never thought I'd ever see someone work that song out, especially with such spot-on note-for-note reproduction of the original. Anyway, just saying, I hadn't noticed the similarity until you said it, and then it hit me as obvious; and like I said, You're absolutely "Wright"!

The percussion sounds so good on this !

[@arttingley1400]

Have been semi-addicted to this track for past year. At first it was the the 2 chord simplicity... But after jamming many times to this song, it does not get boring, and in fact somehow seen to get more complex and powerful. This ain't just another backing track. ❤

[@jamesmowenby]

This is a really fun one to jam around with to find your phrases in Dm Penta and D Dorian. I love this groove

[@ericjtomsky]

Also great for practicing some arpeggios as well!

[@adamf.4823]

I think it's the heavy drums that make this such a good jam track.

[@grainyday]

Man - today me on guitar and my 7 year old on piano - had a blast with Dorian scale .! Thank you so much !

Excellent backing track with notational information. This is perfect for any student who is practicing scales, modes and chord tones while improvising.

I've listened to a lot of backing tracks on KZbin and this is my favorite so far.

[@TheMitchmills]

This is my favorite track to jam to at the moment, and will always be one of my favorites. Great emotion from a two chord progression.

[@skeeterbodeen8326]

Yep !!! On my Jamz Playlist for about 2yrs now... Top 3 grooves / BPM for warming up to shred.

[@TheMitchmills]

@skeeter bodeen I fully concur. Definitely top three, and I might put it higher if I could decide between them. Hell, I didn't know I had a favorite band until someone said:"you're stuck on an island, you can only have one album for however long, maybe till the bitter end, what is it?". I said, without hesitation: "Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall"", because how the hell could I choose between them? Although Steely Dan's, all four of them, greatest hits records were my very next thought.

[@BJDuke]

Very chill Floyd jam to escape into. Much love...

[@josewanderleycaversan8012]

Muito boa aula, vai direto ao ponto deste assunto que também abre para os Chord Melody, coisa que par mim parecia magica e agora estudando desta maneira, fica bem mais próximo e fácil aquela "magia" que estava tão longe há pouco tempo atrás. Valeu professor.

Dude, sweet backing track. Super easy to play along with. Love the groove to it.

Hitting that B over that G7 is so satisfying. Loving the Santana dorian vibes.

One of the best backing tracks ever. Had the fortune of playing a violin based fusion piece over this...was received very well! :D

this backing track is amazing ! im late to work cause all the "out" notes sound so good with this track. needless to say my boss won't know what i mean when i say ive been bending g flats into g's all morning

[@kevlon1996]

I know this comment is old but damn I laughed so hard

[@cryptoskywalker6000]

There aren't really any "out" notes. Only the E, which is the 3rd of C and 5th of Am, so it always sounds right anyway. So yeah, it definitely makes it a super smooth jam to practice your phrasing. Literally every note sounds like a chord tone. And half the time, any note is a chord tone. It makes your ear just accept the other half.

[@bigtay522]

As a drummer first, I really appreciate that kick drum.

Cheers, really good track to jam to. Just getting to grips with D dorian so will work on that then try tracking the chord changes.

[@estevezmateo]

this is definitely the best backing track on youtube man, for guitar and for rapping

[@lyricalbob]

Hi, the listed chords are misleading a bit. The chords , as played in the video, are Dm7 and G7 (not DM7, DF#AC#). The notes are correct but the chord (DM7) listed isn't. My guess is that you capitalized the "M" by mistake. Great track though, I love the Ska break!

[@PowDJoke]

Little tips -> you can also use the A Aeolian :D (as it's part of the D Dorian)

[@paulelwood-guitar]

Dm7 though, right?

[@jerryjacinto2009]

Notes are D F A C, what do you think?

[@jpalberthoward9]

I just found something cool while I was goofing on this one. Try a Bm7b5 as a sub for the Dm, and then run a Locrian pattern in B against it. (I know everybody gets out the silver crucifix and puts the string of garlic around their neck when you mention Locrian), But try it. The harmony works because a Bm7b5 is a Dm6 with the Dorian 6 in the bass, and Bm7b5 is also just a rootless G9. You can even hold it over both of the regular chords, and you'll hear some cool harmony as the Bm7b5 hangs and the other chords change under it. (oblique movement) Fmaj7 add 9 to Gmaj7 add 9 also works as subs over the Dm to G7, and it gives you a kind of Mc Coy Tyner piano voicing like John Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" There's a lot more to Dorian.than Santana and spaghetti westerns, and you can use Locrian for other things besides death metal. ...... I just now found these new ideas, and I thought I'd let everybody know. It was a happy accident.

[@Wout1337]

Nice ideas. Maybe you could also play F lydian over the Fmaj7 add 9 to Gmaj7 add 9?

[@jpalberthoward9]

@@Wout1337 You absolutely could, and while you're at it, the F Lydian also sounds cool over Dm6.

[@TheBanana93]

I barely managed to play that chord but at first I was like "urgh what?" and then I played it a few more times and then I could hear it. So weird! Music theory gets mad

[@carlwilson5339]

Santana used some of these Lead in Dorian ideas in Oye Como Va, Black Magic Woman, both songs were written by others but he injected a Jazz Latin Blues Fusion Dorian element

[@MrFree-vj8qj]

I'll give you a good tip, slow simple BT without a derping around bass and melodies are best for internalizing and learning scales This would be even better at 0.75x the speed, dont look for pleasing BT but practical one

D Dorian has this nostalgic tinge to me. "Hey bro long time no see, you owe me 50 bucks"

What makes the progression "Dorian"? its still just chords from C. Is it that it starts from D (which obviously is the Dorian mode root)?

[@PJ-ee5mc]

I am confused: The track appears to be in the key of D so if I am playing in D Dorian what part of this refers to the "C Major" that you reference? Obviously I am on Day-1 of trying to understand modes after 40 years of playing without learning modes (but that's another long story). When I searched for this video I assumed that it would be in C Major and that I would jam along in D Dorian so I am surprised to see the track in D. To me there is no part of this that appears to be in C Major so I can't make sense of it. I'm sure this is simply due to my ignorance and not understanding the terminology. What am I missing? (other than quite possibly everything :( By the way, this is a GREAT track to play along with and I very much appreciate your efforts here.

[@jakereosti]

Old comment but I’ll respond. Look at it like this: chords in the key of C major: Cmaj Dmin Emin Fmaj G7 Amin Bhalfdim Chords in D minor: D minor Ehalfdim Fmajor Gmin A7 Bbmaj Cmaj The key that lines up happens to be C major. If it were in D (minor) the chord with a “7” would have to be A7, not G7. Hopefully that clears it up. It can get complex, but of course if you can play over it you don’t necessarily need to understand the theory

[@PJ-ee5mc]

@@jakereosti I very much appreciate your explanation, Jake. I simply hate the fact that I have zero understanding of music theory. I have tried to scratch the surface of this several times but never seem to find a process/program that lays it out in a clear and concise manner. I have foolishly believed too many of the people along the way that have told me that it is virtually impossible for someone who has been a passionate and otherwise competent player fir 40 years to go back to "playing Mary had a Little Lamb from sheet music". This all sounds like a big excuse and perhaps it is but I'm still not sure where to start... but maybe the answer was there all along: Mary had a little lamb. I welcome suggestions.

[@jakereosti]

@@PJ-ee5mc I tried to learn the piano, and after 5 years decided to start over with basics - chromatic scales, triads, simple songs. That was such an impactful decision, taught me so much about what I didn’t know and allowed to fill in the gaps. Nothing’s impossible!

[@PJ-ee5mc]

@@jakereosti I was afraid you we going to say that :) It does make perfect sense though. I have been a pilot all of my adult life. I would never suggest that someone take a short cut in their flight training so why should this be any differant? "I didn't actually go to medical school but I can fix ya right up!" I get it. This is going to be my focus and I appreciate your words. I think I'm at a point where I may actually enjoy the process. Thanks again.

[@krisostomo6145]

I think there's a typo error. What I'm hearing is a D minor 7. not major 7.
