(Play Along) Simple Fusion Backing track with key change (Am to Cm)

[@anypercentdeathless]

I see it's been 7 years, but if you get the chance...PLEASE MORE JAMS IN 2-conveniently labelled-KEYS. This is perfect.

[@James57AOL]

I can remember steely Dan doing this type of track. Very intuitive and very fluid. Will we ever find music such as this on the hit pop music charts again. The 70s were the most impressive exploration of all types of music. It gave us all types of NEW experiences to groove on. So much joy in that decade of music. From split town jazz to free fusion and the many available forms of Fusion and speed angst to jive on. This music and melody is for short and determined phrasing that doesn't make for mistakes, but allows for the changes modal and other wise. Simple rhythm and easy going drum beat to hold it down while several musicians just flash and dash for the sensibilities of the music itself.

[@windows.95]

This is just amazing My simple pentatonic runs sound heavenly with your track Many thanks, mate!!!

[@egclifton7220]

Beautiful backing tracks! I can play for hours over your arrangements! Thank you so much.

[@AleksandrsKarimovs]

One of the best backing tracks I've come across! Thank You!

[@isheetfromaswhole3657]

These are a dime a dozen.

[@k3tchup9581]

paused my work to jam on this. and it was damn relaxing after! :) love the chord progression!

[@RyanTehPyro]

“ Well, you caught me, I like to break a mental sweat too.” 🙌

[@naterozgo8724]

Absolutely love this - cool progression and perfect for practicing solos.

[@WeAreNotAmused]

The one a section or b section sounds like a. Studio ultra clean. Rendition of all along the watchtower with just a touch of funky popcorn. Notes to. Be sort of bonus stocatto that is. Sweet when. Rhythm overlap or effects pedals create an additional rhythmic point in the flow. What was an incident then turns out it sounds proper when looking back on this groove in a retrospective sense Has been transformative this is . Rather upbeat acquiescent silver surfer dream sequence type ice cold smoothie of a groove But totally uninhibited I actually thought it sounded overly simplistic and. Ultra clean. Yet as the sections unfolded in my mind I realized that this is a brilliant work of genius And futuristic sound. The chord progression is superb however simplistic it is at every turn clear intent. Progressive in every sense. Intelligent. Pretty. Good work. Keep it up the future depends on people like you. It would have to fade out at the end cuz this a section and b section never seem to completely resolve. They just keep pushing or pulling towards the next change

[@loulou321]

phew, this is a freakin' awsome track. cant stop playing the pentatonics up and down. the scale change is perfect for learning. many thanks

[@purplezoid1]

Carlo these jam tracks you have are the best on youtube. I love jamming to them on guitar. Brilliant! MORE PLEASE!!!

[@carlopelusomusic]

thanks!!!

[@bernarddzialach8890]

purplezoid1 top ! pour progresser

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Thanks. My teacher set me this as homework. Only allowed to use the 2nd position minor scales! It's a great track for getting to know how to play with key changes.

[@carlopelusomusic]

thanks to your teacher !

[@britman31]

Tremendous work. This was a real buzz to solo over. Thanks for uploading!

[@Ingles4allYou]

Best speed ever of all over here!!

[@charlesstewart1503]

Theory aside...A very nice composition! thanks for sharing.

[@williamking7420]

I can jam with this for hours....Beautiful

[@Guitarraeficaztutorialesytabs]

Beautiful backing track, it makes me belive i play well, and that'spretty much. It lets you be in control, not very easy nor very hard. Thanks!

[@geetarnut]

Very believable track! Professionally mixed as well! Thanks very much!!! Ciao!!!

[@soundkrafter]

Yes, and in the second set of chords, Cm Bd and G#maj7, the G#maj7 should be Ab. Key sigs do not mix #'s and b's.

[@sventenful]

+KerryandStephanie Rottacker why is G#maj7 incorrect?

[@AndoniDiazPuerta]

Because of the tonality, it is represented using b accidentals.

[@alex-chan4715]

You have a point here.

[@aviben-dov9050]

@@sventenful because we are in the key of Cm- a key with 3 flats. one of them is Ab. the G in this key is G natural

[@JamminJim42]

GREAT track.......perfect speed and nice and long to perfect changing keys. Would love more like this one. THANKS

[@johncarcinogen]

i've been trying to phrase in the C# and the Eb to the Fmaj7 a few turns until some part of my brain told me to just waffle around with the corresponding minor scales and it would be ok. Then i read the comments. The track was cool, thank for the long jam =)

[@januszwu973]

great fun and great excercise

[@tbasshandyman7610]

what is it that makes this work? its great

[@oneworld9071]

Carlo Peluso What are you.... some kind of intellectual with good taste? Appears that way :) This is really nice, man. I'd never known the F7+ means same as Fmaj7. Whenever I saw it, I was really uncomfortable with the 7+. Thanks for that good news :) My father was an encyclopedia of music theory in both classical and jazz disciplines. He'd transcribe chord charts for me using the superscript triangle between root note and its embellishing scale degree. I've always written out chord charts for my band using that. OH yeah..... forgot to say that whenever I see a + sign in chord I've always thought it meant "augmented" so F7+ arpeggio'ed was F A C# E..... major 3rd, the 5th is raised, and the major 7 (E). opened a LOT of doors thank you!!

[@jensclarberg6419]

Honestly, F7+ should be a dominant chord with a sharp 5, so you're not wrong. F7#5.

[@christianlacheze3323]

Agreed, To me the symbol of a major 7 is either M or a triangle. + is for #5

[@musisibanyakgaya]

yes this's simple fusion ... thanks carlo..

[@Guitaropenmind]

Great Track! Bravo!

[@JamminJim42]

Very nice track......Thanks a lot.

[@ryanintopeka]

This is SO MUCH FUN !!!

[@tendencialmente]

Right? 8======)

[@daprofemusicstickers]

Thanks great track

[@theviciousheadsociety4923]

love this track

[@carlopelusomusic]

Aminor/pentatonic for the first 3 chords, Cminor/pentatonic for the other three.

[@DanielVerberne]

Forgive me, I don't know music theory very well - but it seems we can alternate between C major and C minor to cover the two keys?

[@ScoobyDooby530]

C major's relative minor is A minor. It is essentially just the 2nd position of the A minor scale

[@Wahncynic]

i'm afraid the chords are not quite correct, its not F7+, its Fmaj7. same goes for G#7+, also a major chord. if the + here stands for mayor, it is misleading, because + indicates an augmented fifth. yet a pretty cool backing track.

[@czgibson]

Yep. I was looking out for #5 too. It's confusing to use + when maj7 is intended.

[@MrRuggo]

czgibson If im not msitaken the symbols indicating a certain chord type may vary from country to country.

[@czgibson]

MrRuggo You are of course correct. It's a shame there is no universal convention for naming chords on jazz charts. I've also seen Cmaj7 chords written as C(#7) and C (triangle) 7, but I've never seen 7+ for maj7 before

[@Furiano-]

muy buena pista gracias

[@lesterfalcon6252]

Amazing BAcking track...

[@carlopelusomusic]

Hi friends. please replace F7+ with Fmaj7, same for G#7+ with G#maj7

[@bajambalumbax]

cmq no, anche in italiano si scrive fmaj7.........

[@bajambalumbax]

f+ sarebbe aumentato anche se è comunque piu corretto scriverlo diversamente

[@dustsculpture]

No problem dude !

[@garrettguitar6583]

My ears were like "no! he is wrong!" then I read this. OK…

[@garrettguitar6583]

Yeah. F7+ is normally for F dominant 7 sharp 5.

[@guillermopeitton4359]

MUy bueno, gracias!!!!

[@cedjazz]

Great track. Thanks

[@maestrodinorhelos]

Cool jam! A couple of theoretical errors, though. The F7+ should be an Fmaj7, and the G#7 should be an Abmaj7.

[@XSStrings]

Major can be symbolized as a + so he's not wrong there. I do agree however the G# should be an Ab.

[@maestrodinorhelos]

Travis Matte That's a tough call on the F7+. I think most reading musicians would agree that F7+ means F7+5. If a single symbol is going to be used to represent a maj.7, it would be F∆7.

[@maestrodinorhelos]

Ah, I learned something today. Grazie!

[@DnStefano]

Great track! Thanks

[@hartmutalbrecht5779]

very nice track

[@EMILIO-music]

Excelente Carlo! gracias!

[@baz0k]

FRANK GAMBALE! AWESOME

[@saywhat4314]

[@FretJunkies]

[@patpatton4396]

Bueno el backing track, me recordo a los soundtrack de Megaman, sobretodo del X5 xDDDD Saludos!!!!

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

Reminds me of some old Frank Gamble songs.

[@harley9058]

BTW very Journey sounding very cool i can hear Steve Perry singing to this some how

[@JasonDeCarloGuitar]

I thought exactly the same thing when I heard this. Reminds me of Who's Cryin' Now :)

[@MarceloYakko]

Carlos, exelente backing! me dejas usarlo para un jam? poniendote los creditos tuyos? gracias hermano.

[@carlopelusomusic]

+Marcelo Yakko yes of course, bye

[@MarceloYakko]

+Carlo Peluso (erosulpalco) gracias! abrazo

[@JK-nd1oo]

Ab7 (not G#7) if we're in the key of Cm. Nice track though.

[@guitarmystery8432]

Amazing!

[@harley9058]

what ever iy is F7 or Fmaj7 to the G#7 the fucking track sounds good because when it comes to the guitar solo people hear that more then the little bull shit off notes lol sounds great i rip on them thanks

[@steeelydaan]

nice change!

[@fajrinadams2643]

Cool man.

[@Ziluuz]

The Rippingtons!

[@bernarddzialach8890]

ça ressemble à un titre de Gambale non?

[@xemuz]

what scales to use?

[@aviben-dov9050]

the G#7+ should be an Abmaj7. the note G# doesn't exist in the key of C minor

[@BigEdWo]

nice

[@patriciohernangonzalez8442]

great :)

[@bdunaway5]

the + sign means augmented 5th, which is not what you have here

[@geetarnut]

I hear a"hint", of Hill Street Bluesishness?! Just a teeny-tiny-eeny meenie-wee-bit!

[@JENiA95]

This shit is amazing!

[@antonivarsson5130]

Fucking sweet

[@WeAreNotAmused]

Divinity through simplicity v

[@danielecongiu6238]

Ma muoio son citazioni all ispettore gadget ahahah

[@pnowak2]

I guess in this key second part should be spelled as Cm Bb Abmaj7 to be enharmonically correct

[@caropeli]

not G# ... is a Ab

[@carlopelusomusic]

perfect!

[@DominiqueCheviet]

Hello from France ; great job . I post a comment and i talk about you in my blog dominiquecheviet.blogspot.fr . Your backing tracks are very helpful to practice . ( and they sound really good !! )
