Minor 2-5-1 Medium Swing Jazz Backing Track (Em)

🎼 TABS, SCALE MAPS + LESSONS 👉 / quistjam Here's a head bopping medium swing jazz practice backing track for improvising on a classic minor 2-5-1 progression - in the guitar-friendly key of E minor!
Click here goo.gl/GD3K8s for more free 2-5-1 jam tracks :)
Chord progression:
II: F#min7b5 I B7 I Emin7 I Emin7 :II
Scale suggestions:
E minor scale - E F# G A B C D (E)
(F#min7b5 chords and Emin7 chords)
E harmonic minor scale - E F# G A B C D# (E)
(B7 chords)
Basic arpeggios:
F#min7b5 arpeggio = F# A C E
B7 arpeggio = B D# F# A
Em7 arpeggio = E G B D
Next up, try out some more advanced colours on the dominant chord (B7) by treating it as an altered chord and using the altered scale:
B altered scale - B C D Eb F G A (B)
The altered scale is the mode which starts on the 7th step of the melodic minor scale, so in other words - the notes of B altered scale are the same as those of C melodic minor scale :)

[@drumdude101]

DUDE ! even just your opening jams are inspiring enough for me. i love how much different style you've achieved!

[@krafgeetar4013]

As a thrash metal guitarist, it seems odd that this is fun to solo over, but it really is enjoyable. Thanks

[@suckmydicproductions7162]

a lot of thrash solos are written in harmonic minor and harmonic minor is used a lot in jazz over the V7 chord of a progression. Ive listened to metal basically all my life and play in metal bands but i also enjoy listening to jazz and the theory behind it as a whole. you'd be surprised how much metal and jazz relate

[@globalpanorama]

very nice...thanks for your effort..i use it for flute...works perfect..

[@9319396626]

Thank you so much! Love from India. You're extremely talented.

[@QuistJam]

Thank you!! I absolutely love the fact that you're enjoying the music all the way from India :) :)

[@SwampCityRadio1974]

Recently learned some minor scale ladder drills on my key of D Diatonic harmonica and they seem to plug straight into this! Quist, making scale jail sound great again!

[@smoothie2629]

Em can be played in 3rd position, currently playing on a D diatonic too!

[@AdamSteinzOfficial]

Oh yes,,,this is PERFECT. Thanks again, Quist!

Play by ear (which may be developed by practice) in (concert) E minor, except sharp the D during the 5.

This is too good ✅😏

[@guitarman6742]

Wes would be proud.

[@SyahmiRosli]

What guitar is that? I really want one great guitar to have in my life before I die and I want it to sound good when it is played for Jazz. That looks great.

[@QuistJam]

Hey Syahmi Rosli - it's a Peerless. Go try some of them out, they play and sound great and don't actually cost very much.

[@SyahmiRosli]

Thank you very much man. I would credit you if I become a good player haha.

[@danielfrias8270]

Q hermoso q suena eso

[@martyisabeliever]

.....;-).... fantastic intro....;-)......such technique maestro... stellar vamp... for my educations sake what is the time signature and how does one count it?

[@QuistJam]

Hey Marty - it's 4/4.. the bass is (mostly) laying down beats 1 2 3 4 .... - I hope that helps....

[@martyisabeliever]

QuistTV OK .... tis what i thought still a noob in my deciphering counts. so in B.P.M. is the "beat" value measured as a whole note?? (silly question perhaps just don't want to assume?). Thanks Jacob, you still in Dublin?

[@QuistJam]

Not silly at all.. it's literally "beats per minute"... most commonly quarter notes, but not necessarily... like in 7/8 you'd count 8th notes/minute.... I'm back in London, playing Glastonbury Festival this weekend with Bryan Ferry :)

[@martyisabeliever]

QuistTV see i was wrong... but as you write that now I remember, the bottom number in the fraction sets the BPM (e.g. 3/4 is quarters 6/8 in eights ect ) have started working with Derryl gabel and timing has been identified as a weakness... any help exercises or insight you can give would be greatly appreciated. have a Great and productive day my friend!

[@tourankhan3537]

Great. May I know what chord you're playing in the beginning?
