PINK FLOYD style Backing Track in A MINOR - Am SAD BLUES Backing Track

A Minor Pink Floyd style Rock Guitar Backing Track in Am Minor. Pink Floyd Blues Backing Track. Melodic, Slow / Melodic / Sad Blues.
classicjamtrack...
Scale: A minor for the whole thing
I've always really enjoyed soloing over tracks with a lush keyboard and synthesizer arrangement. Something about those extra tonal and harmonic content which makes everything explode from your fingers. Soloing becomes more about highlighting the chordal progression as well as building your own lead story. One thing that shocked me is a lot of people find this track on KZbin with the keywords 'SAD BACKING TRACK' or 'SAD BLUES BACKING TRACK'. Realistically it is what you make it. To me, it's high melodic - yes you can shred, but melodic is the key phrase here and what this is, is a MELODIC BACKING TRACK for guitar or whatever instrument you please. You can make this happy, inspiration, reflective, sentimental, thankful or sad, simply by applying your own phrasing and scales. To me, that is what makes a good guitar backing track.
I know it sounds like I'm blowing my own trumpet, and please don't get me wrong, I'm not. There's a lot of great melodic backing tracks out there, but each of them are individual. This one is based upon a descending chord progression in the key of A minor. It's a pretty common progression - however the passing note before the D (the E) instantly transforms it into a popular Pink Floyd track in another key. I knew when I did this - I was almost going to exclude the note for that reason - I didn't want to get tarred with the 'Just Another Comfortably Numb Backing Track', because it's not, I've used similar but different instruments and the rhythm guitar playing has a definite different feel.
So here I am, in a dilemma, ready to record bass. Do I do my own thing, knowing that I want to make this track unique - or do I do a Comfortably Numb influenced bass line too? I know if I didn't, you could argue "Why go this far and not the full way?" or "It's meant to be C.N. but he couldn't play the bass line!". I'm not sure what the deciding factor was - perhaps somewhere midway down the second glass of wine. Anyway, here is the track - please enjoy! Visit on KZbin, Like, Comment and Subscribe if you like!

It's hard not to sound good playing over this.

[@davidalpern8949]

I can't hear you man, because I sound so awesome I turned up to eleven!

[@gesuchter]

was shocked after the 8 minutes passed - I was in trance playing my solo

[@SnookOnTheFly]

Love when that happens

[@celibat_nedrochevich]

Thanks. under this I will play a lot.

[@JeffHossguitarroads]

So much fun to play to. Thanks for the work you put into this.

[@TheCrappyGuitarist]

This is a blast to jam with....

[@classicjamtracks]

Cool! I'm glad you're having fun with it :)

[@Upstairsforpete]

This is great I actually think i can play a bit on top of it and be Dave G in my own world!!!!

[@siddharthmanumusic]

Thanks a bunch man!!

[@etreimage]

god like experience playing along to this :)

[@kronoscamron7412]

you automatically play comfortably numb on this

[@theoriginal639]

boost your modulation and reverb, and just play pentatonic with a lot of bends vibratos and slides. You will feel like david gilmour!

[@classicjamtracks]

That's the idea :)

[@waynebrown1394]

I can play the blues scale in a minor and do bends, vibrators, hammer ons, pull offs, and slides for the next year and I will never feel like David Gilmour. I would be happy to just find my voice ya, if I could do that in the next 10 years I would be happy and amazed. lol

[@janmartenhoogebeen4980]

@@waynebrown1394 Haha...Way to go bro. I feel the same

[@veilofpersephone1480]

Great, if you want to feel like David Gilmour - just for a little while!

[@gm7304]

I have to keep a Kool Tool Thanks to this video. Be thinking I'm a pro now that I have that David sound.

[@rodgano2780]

David Gilmour is a guitar God.

[@classicjamtracks]

Yes he is :)

[@gregdemeterband]

[@expat2010]

Very nice. Lots of fun to play along with, dreaming that it might actually sound good. :)

[@Jake_AC]

Haha this is basically just comfortably numb in am

[@classicjamtracks]

+Jacob Crowell Yep, except for a few differences in the bass and guitar it is.

[@damonmcgraw5864]

This works so well with A Dorian!

[@classicjamtracks]

Yes it does! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

[@jstuyfzand5467]

Holy shit it does!

[@thepushfitzyify]

TRY D DORIAN!!!!

[@annasthesia8432]

Entirely Fitzy D dorian is literally the same notes as Am

[@thepushfitzyify]

Deivyt - Look at the original comment. I knew that already but didn't think a raised 6th sounded very good with it in Am.

[@misterroberts4240]

if im gonna play to a comf numb backing track, ill stick with the way its done in Bm, but thanks for the upload to those that like this. It sounds just fine, just rather practice in original key to the backing track i found. Now if you put the whole song up in Am i might want that as the D part is kinda high for me a key lower would help

[@gandryllcymru8455]

Thanks would do--but your ego just wouldn't let go, would it?

[@souhityogupta7704]

You can play Comfortably Numb solo in Am Key with this

John Altyn I'll check it out! Thanks :-)

[@rebelslash510]

Lol i wouldn't exactly describe this as blues..

[@newtonlkh]

sound like it's made by pitching down something...

[@classicjamtracks]

Hmmm it was recorded in A minor. I wonder if it's the synth sounds I used that gives it that feel.

[@JB19504]

Why the fuck doesn't what I play sound like Gilmour? I can't understand why. I'm playing in the same key. This is bullshit!!

[@EnricoZeppa]

Too noisy

[@xposethatruth1682]

lol, same backing track...
