Drone Track in EVERY Key [a practice track you really need!]

[@stevieG.]

As a singer a great way to use this incredible resource is to speed it up so it lasts 30mins and just play it in the car whilst driving and simply vocalise to it and see where your voice wants to go that day. If you combine it with a song like Reet Petite by Jackie Wilson then your working all the basics such as support, trills, open spaces and resonance plus pitch and crafting harmonies. It's all you need really.!!

[@freelancebythebay]

Thank you! Best wishes.

[@ekx5120]

Watch in ×0.5 to double the fun! :D

[@balthasarte5649]

Wouldn't it change the pitch?

[@Antelope2000]

No. In fact all pitches would remain the same as each octave is the unison frequency doubled.

[@balthasarte5649]

@@Antelope2000 oooooooooohhhh!!!!! Right so as long as it is sped up or slowed down by multiples of 2 the drone will remain in pitch albeit twice/thrice/etc as high/low

[@Antelope2000]

@@balthasarte5649 Yes. If you want to get real involved in the math, each half step interval's frequency increases by a factor of 2 to the one twelfth or 2^(1/12). This means every time you go up 12 half steps, the frequency has doubled. 2^(12/12) = 2^1 = 2 I almost continued with the frequency math, but I'll spare you. It's interesting stuff if you like both music and math though. Enjoy!

@@Antelope2000 thanks dude! I'm going to read that two more times and try to get it.

you can be sure when I finish with this my wife WILL DIVORCE ME, my children will hate me, and my dog will have run back to Indiana… (but BRAVO - its just what I was looking for!)

But you'll play the best arpeggios ever! :D

[@Diego_Occhipinti]

Do you mean the drones or the consequences of your practicing?

[@guitarizard]

​@@GregEleftheriouI'm using it to feel the differences between the notes in a key. Lots of out off key humming😂

[@mileswhite4329]

This is a beautiful thing. It's the only drone track I'll ever need. Thank you. ❤

[@saxy]

Yes perfect for a wind instrument. (Sax player here ) Besides tuning there are endless possibilities only restricted by your imagination and technique.

[@JayBrekken]

Thank you so much! I'm practicing frettless bass and this is a godsend.

[@nathanrogers8460]

Hello my fretless brother, I'm doing the same thing lol. How's the fretless treating you these days?

[@JayBrekken]

@nathanrogers8460 it's okay! I still don't feel very musical but my intonation is definitely better. How long have you been at it?

[@nathanrogers8460]

@@JayBrekken about 2 months now. Been playing fretted bass for about 20 years though. It's frustrating to basically start over, but I'm glad for a challenge.

[@jbassbass]

Love this! Use it all the time. Both trumpet and double bass.

[@dave23456]

This is excellent for really hearing the differences when it comes to modal playing.

[@joeym.delgado7144]

Thank you for this. Your drone track has allowed me to improve my ear training while navigating the entire fretboard using major and minor scales in each key.

[@GregEleftheriou]

I'm delighted! Well done! :)

Man this is great for practicing my ascending Coltrane diminished pattern in all 12! Thanks!

[@David-qe9np]

This is such a valuable practice track! Thank you! I would love it if you could make a 24 min one: 2 minutes in each key. I would practice over it every morning.

[@rjhill2326]

You can cut it down to 30 min if you 2x speed

[@klx400sr69]

Hi David, can you tell me how you practicing this? I’m not a beginner but need a little help on this one. I am just playing a scale for every key that contains whichever note is droning at the time. Some Major, some minor. Is there a better way? Thanks!

[@StratsRUs]

@@klx400sr69 Try playing a G major Scale over the C Drone.It will sound C Lydian.If you play F major over the C drone it will sound C Mixolydian. C major Scale over it, obviously Ionian. B flat Major Scale played over the C Drone will sound C Dorian.A flat major scale over C drone will sound C Phrygian.And E Flat Major Scale over C Drone will sound C Aeolian. Adapt for other drones.The drone is like a light that illuminates the C within each scale and the relationships within it morph for each 'mode'..

@@StratsRUs thank you!

[@dougbennett7881]

[@GregEleftheriou]

Enjoy it, Stephen!

[@scottsdale4899]

This is fantastic! Thank you for this. I just sat here completely lost in some amateur space flight…your track, my squire mini using the neck pickup with the the “birds” preset in guitar rig 7. Endless notes on an endless flight. WOW….thank you SO MUCH!!!

Nice! It keeps my drone practice from getting too sleepy. just worked mode 7 of melodic minor in ascending and descending 6ths all twelve keys

[@larrygk1257]

Excellent contribution to musicians Greg. I started electric bass a year ago and have been looking for a chord drone machine. Know nothing about DAW's and wanted to be able to capture all keys and all the permutations (minor, dominant, etc) of chords to practice along with.

[@balthasarte5649]

I doesn't change the pitch?

[@MrGrandeFrancisco]

Practice intervals scales songs

[@minkorrh]

Wow. That's all i have to say about that. All of a sudden the modal playing changes to its mood as opposed to being influenced by the chords in a backing track.

[@Guitar101Ramstein]

it's helpful to spend enough time on one particular note, so I make my drone tracks for practice always at least 10 minutes long. This one is well done though in concept

[@GregEleftheriou]

What do you practice and in which instrument?

[@paleontologi485]

Harmony and arpeggios, piano

[@alexisrenteria5880]

Soloing on the guitar! Perfect feel for Gilmour style solos.

[@Tubatasm]

Pretty fabulous for Tuba.

[@Krisselbee]

It may be very obvious... But I find it nice to practice intervals to this, because it is generating a lot of repetition by moving in the circle of fifths

[@GregEleftheriou]

I totally agree with you Kristina! 🙂

[@infiniteandroid]

Thank you … this was soooo fuckin fun!!!!

[@babscabs1987]

I put a metronome on with this and try to cycle through the modes of each key

Brian Eno would like this track

[@martinfierro9734]

lol trumpets making the most replayed top score 🎺🙌

[@TrombaSolo]

Thanks for this. I've been a professional musician for 50 years. I'm using it to check the intonation of a new trumpet. I'm not trying to be snarky here, but what do you mean by "in every key"? I hear a single note (octaves, to be sure) on each of the different notes. A note is not a key. A note is a note. What am I missing?

[@GregEleftheriou]

Hello! Because it's just octaves, over the A drone track you can play in the key of A major, A minor, A dorian etc. The drone track has all notes so you can play in any key you want.

[@TrombaSolo]

@@GregEleftheriou Got it. Thanks.

[@DavidHolbenTUBADAVE]

can you make a sequel to this that progresses counter-clockwise through the flats first?

[@GregEleftheriou]

Yes, that 's on my schedule! ;)

[@DavidHolbenTUBADAVE]

@@GregEleftheriou Yes, please Sir. I would very much like a version of this drone track for myself, and my students going the other direction on the wheel.

I believe this is a bit sharp

[@maestroflorez3844]

I'm practing solfeggio

[@21Million]

Now if you could give me a droning Major or Minor chord, I would be far more interested in that.

[@dannybos7024]

Wait, are these keys in major or minor?

[@GregEleftheriou]

They are just a root note. So you can play anything you want.

[@maricelaesteves6398]

Hollooooooooooooooooo

[@sqrfoot6548]

What's happening ?

[@felipesalas991]

C#/Db is weirdly oscilating

[@Johanne-Bryce]

This great, but ads disrupt the flow.

[@renzg6887]

May I ask, what is the purpose of this, how can this help me ? what's with the background sound?

[@GregEleftheriou]

Hello. When you have a single note drone, you can play everything that has this note. The most common way to use those drones is the following one. Over the C drone, you can play: All the C scales/modes you know, all the C arpeggios/chords, all the degrees of any C scale. They all work over the drone. And you can do the same all over the other drones. :)

[@marco-vn8si]

@@GregEleftheriou hi, I wonder if the approach you mention to use drones is valid for any major or minor scale

[@GregEleftheriou]

@@marco-vn8si it is!

This is a really cool track thanks for the upload. I've been playing drums along with this and its nice to have a musical drone without any rhythm features. I play drumset but I got the idea to search for this from a Tabla player
