Four (Miles Davis) : Backing Track

[@mjazzguitar]

A trick for playing in the Gmi7 - F#mi7 - Fmi7 - Bb7 segments is think of Gmi7 as the III chord. Play in Eb and just go up a half note and play in E for the F#mi7 and go back to Eb for the rest.

[@guitareimprovisation]

Indeed ! It's a good trick :-)

[@semanticsamuel936]

This is so smooth. This chord progression is so versatile so you can do some really interesting stuff with it. Love the track. I'm new to this style of playing, and in the couple of months I've been learning it's been so enjoyable.

My jazz band will be playing this at the school's spring concert. Even thought its not for about a month from now, I was still pretty nervous about soloing on this song, but this video really helped to bring that down!

[@joekarmazyn2825]

Best backing tracks on youtube for learning jazz I swear it. Thank you to the Guitare Improvisation channel!

Of the wonderful things that you get out of life there are four. And they may not be many but nobody needs any more. Of the many facts making the list of life, Truth takes the lead. And to relax knowing the gist of life, it's truth you need. Then the second is honor and happiness makes number three. When you put them together you know what the last one must be. Baby so truth, honor and happiness and one thing more, meaning only wonderful, wonderful love that'll make four.

Been using this to practice singing the vocalese 🥸 thank you for your work!

[@lesharris9560]

Je suis désolé et vous jouez très bien merci. ✌️👏👏👏

[@solar8314]

Why are you sorry?

[@homermao]

Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour les backingtracks de qualité ! A l'occasion ça serait vraiment super une vidéo de tuto sur comment jouer des guitares d'accompagnement aussi bien (surtout jazz et bossa). Ça m'intéresserait beaucoup (comme pas mal de monde j'imagine...) Très bonne continuation !

[@rossminet]

Merci. La meilleure sur youtube.

FOUR (1958, THE SWINGERS) SONGTEXT Of the wonderful things that you get outta life, there are four And they may not be many, but nobody needs any more Of the many facts making the list of life Truth takes the lead And to relax, knowing the gist of life It's truth you need Then the second is honor and happiness makes number three When you put them together you'll know what the last one must be Baby so the truth, honor and happiness And one thing more Meaning only wonderful, wonderful love that'll make it four Don't you know the score? Well. people, when they're younger, never realize the pleasure-treasure life's got But, as they grow older, realize a lot They got their minds on all the wrongest scenes An things that cost a lotta' money, but it's really very funny; they fade away and don't' amount to a hill o' beans Funny how the things in life we really should adore We forget, or ignore - end up poor- Spent a lot o' time on money and madness and end up in sadness Youth is the time when we should see the light Cause when we're old wasted, the dues for what we've tasted run so high That we pay 'till we die-then we know that youth that made us strong is wasted on the young, So-enjoy it gaily! Love life! And live it daily You'll find a lot of things to bring you joy and give peace of mind Get it while the gettin's good, 'cause every body, if they only would, life would be a set- Live would be a groovy set-groovy as a movie Wail! Wail! Let your voice be heard. Spread the work! Every body's hear's got ears Only gotta' teach em' how to use em-not abuse 'em So take a tip from me: the world's everything it oughta' be as long as you can be sure There is no more to life than same ol' four. Hard to believe, I know, but time will show That even though you think it's boresome, two-and-two together constitute a foursome! That's all -four is the figure-that's all! Ain't gonna be gettin' any bigger, doesn't matter how you slice it up, you'll never change it You count everything that fate throws into life potstill really four is all you've got. Haven't they told you about he little pleasures that are part of all the rest You live a little and love a little And take a little and give a lot-still the total is happiness But that's only one -you've just begun; there's gonna be more After this are truth and honor shinin' And love combinin' to make it four-no more.

Very good backing track !! ... Thanks for sharing

[@riellymorton]

Great comping!

[@66siclone79]

Bonjour, débutant en modal, j'aimerais savoir les modes utilisés si possible, en tout cas j'adore vôtre travail (backing track comme tutoriels) complet et interessant, continuez comme ça! il nous manque des gens comme vous sur youtube :)

[@guitareimprovisation]

Merci beaucoup 66 Siclone ! Avez-vous vu qu'il y a justement un cours vidéo sur le standard Four ici ? www.guitare-improvisation.com/video_four.php J'y explique tout : les accords pour le comping, les arpèges, les gammes à utiliser, l'analyse de la grille et plein d'autres choses. La vidéo dure 80 minutes ! Et il y en a plein d'autres de niveaux divers ici : www.guitare-improvisation.com/video_tous-les-cours-videos.php

[@66siclone79]

Niquel! merci :)

[@fabiolaforgia776]

donc, peux-je l'utiliser dans la radio dont je fais partie?

[@guitareimprovisation]

Fabio Di Matteo Je pense oui, il faut cependant bien citer la source (car licence creative Commons).

[@TheRedstonedeluxe]

I wonder why so many versions don't have m3 m4 and m5 as Bb-7 Eb7 and Ab^7 respectively. It seems to make more sense harmonically and with the melody

[@billkennedy8379]

Early versions of The Real Book had it that way, but it's not like that on the original Miles Davis recording.

[@vagio910]

I call this: "almost giant steps"

[@bighornbop]

Merci!!

[@petel2952]

Cool.

[@emmanuelportillo2740]

Hola. Gracias por el trabajo hecho en esta publicación, sin embargo permitanme notar algo, y es que según mi Real Book, la progresión armónica es distinta, algunas diferencias son sustituciones válidas, pero en los compases 3 y 4, la diferencia es un Bbm - Eb7 (en mi partitura) y un Ebm - Ab7 (en su partitura). Si es posible, me gustaría saber si estoy equivocado en algo o sí por el contrario tengo razón. Gracias.

[@guitareimprovisation]

Hi ! I hope you understand english :-) The Bbm7 Eb7 in the Real Book is a very famous mistake (this real book contains many). The chords in my backing track is the famous "right" version. I transcribed the original version to learn this of course.

[@emmanuelportillo2740]

@@guitareimprovisation Well, great. I think I will change the chords in my book for study it ... lot of thanks

[@guitareimprovisation]

You're welcome ;-)

[@fellowroch]

Bonjour, je suis trompettiste et j'adore jouer sur ces accompagnement, est-il possible de les télécharger pour jouer dessus quand il n'y a pas de wifi (dans la rue par exemple) ?

[@guitareimprovisation]

Merci ! Argh, sujet sensible :-) Oui c'est possible, tapez "youtube to mp3" dans google par exemple. En contrepartie (des vues que je n'aurais pas) je compte sur vous pour partager mes vidéos quand elles vous sont utiles (voire même de faire un petit don via mon site si vous en avez l'envie). Bonne impro à vous !

[@pixelclick3999]

What does the % mean?

[@thetubulartubist3613]

It means that you play the same chord for another measure before a change in the progression

[@rico._5067]

It means you just play the chord that came before it
