Honestly soloing was bad until I closed my eyes and just felt the music 😂

[@mac6457]

Hey that's all it takes bro. Jammin this on trumpet and new to improv, just gotta go with the flow ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@charleszhou4091]

This is the best solo lesson I had in my life

[@pocketjamtracks]

Thanks man! ✌️

[@Pyro_Shields]

I turned this backing track on as I was taking my guitar out of the case. I paused and then just listened to the track. Very calming. The Rhodes is perfect.

[@pocketjamtracks]

Wow thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I love the Rhodes 😌

[@cuillinphillips2683]

Omg this is pure gold, who ever came up with this isnt human. THANK YOUU

never soloed so well, this is amazing

[@pocketjamtracks]

That's great! Thanks

[@georgefenning4844]

This is so inspirational . I improvised using an acoustic guitar . Found it very intuitive to play along with and was surprised with the musical and lyrical ideas this generated. I’m speechless. Why is it so good. ?

[@pocketjamtracks]

Wow what a compliment! I'm glad you found this track so inspiring 🙏

[@georgefenning4844]

I tried to play it on piano ..it didn’t work as well. I felt like the em9 was the beginning chord .. can’t work out why the c maj7 feels like the first bar on your production .. I feel a song coming on …. Amazing

[@vibeinc3444]

Same as me

[@robertcampbell7662]

Thanks dude this was super cool to jam too!

[@EdBender]

love this track too. I think it works so well because of the B7alt chord. Also worth noticing the chord progression is quite interesting since the key is Em, so the resolution is delayed quite a bit. Very nice track. Found myself jamming on the guitar for a long time.

[@smithsays]

Such a mellow vibe, thank you.

[@pocketjamtracks]

You're welcome

Dissecting it and adding and subtracting things trying to understand and know it better. Pleasant voice leading

Great track to jam to. I usually go a little heavier but loved this mellow vibe. Thanks

[@pocketjamtracks]

Thanks man, yes it's nice and easy to sound good over this one.

[@karayuschij]

Excellent!

[@classicrocker889]

Very nice.

[@pirateradioFPV]

It's just so incredibly satisfying to play on it. So easy to expand the ideas, drift on and off.

@@pocketjamtracks Funny, I was just playing it as you responded! :D

[@pocketjamtracks]

Haha awesome! 😎

[@ilyasrayan4791]

This track is great to work and to Jam !!! Slow rythm allow to change the scale according to each chords, short example: - CMaj7 ==> E Blues Scale - BAlt7 ==> B SuperLocrian everyday - Em9 ==> Go for E Aeolian, why not A Dorian - A13 ==> Go for E Dorian Put in evidence tension and resolution notes: - CMaj7 ==> E - BAlt7 ==> Eb - Em9 ==> Whatever - A13 ==> C# Thanks for the track !!

[@pocketjamtracks]

Great breakdown, really nice choices! Thank you do much for your support 🙏

[@caiocesarzancan7716]

Hi! Thank you for this backing track! I like this. Im playing home this smooth jazz and it helps for me to forgot about problems.

[@pocketjamtracks]

Wow you're welcome! Thank you 🙏

[@erebys21]

A backing track so good I can noodle pretty much completely random notes in the scale and it still sounds AMAZING Edit: like seriously, jamming to this makes me feel like I know what I'm doing even though I have only played guitar for 1.5 years.

[@pocketjamtracks]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!

Oooh, this one is fun on tenor sax, thanks.

[@pocketjamtracks]

Nice! I love a good sax solo 🎷😎

[@dannychoriki1977]

this B7 altered sound, using the C melodic minor scale is implying some really cool SUPER LOCRIAN tones, followed by a dominant A13 chord for some equally as badass A dorian lines at the end. Overall a sick track that I am glad I clicked on. 10/10 would jam again.

[@pocketjamtracks]

Yeah thats super cool, I also use A lydian dominant on the A13 to give it some spice ;) Thanks!

[@gamefan3300]

i instantly clicked on it too , amazing.

[@saleplains]

sheesh that 8 mins went quick. i kept spacing tho and hitting the c against the c# on the a chord and vce versa lol but eventually started really getting into it and it started flowing.

[@pocketjamtracks]

That's how you get better, awesome!

Same chord progression as Something about us by daft punk :)

[@pocketjamtracks]

Nice catch! Yes it is, the only difference is that the 2nd chord is minor most of the time, instead of a dominant chord ;)

[@_sounabha_]

Which key instrument were playing ?

[@theguardian8309]

May be this will get answered one day but I really want to know what model of guitar is in the thumbnail. If you could let me know thanks!

[@pocketjamtracks]

It's an Ibanez AS73GBKF

[@Strobus]

How do you guys get the b5 of the alt scale to work?

[@pocketjamtracks]

You play the altered scale over the altered chord, that b5 is a chord tone so it works pretty well. Maybe you just need to get used to that sound. Hope it helps 🙏

[@Strobus]

@@pocketjamtracks yeah ur right. Trapped in the Aeolian loophole

[@robdonell9915]

What are the chord notes for B7 alt ?

[@pocketjamtracks]

An altered 7th chord needs an altered fifth and/or ninth. In this case I'm playing a B7b13, the b13 is the same as a #5. So the notes are B D# G A.

[@Steve-si8hx]

What's a B7alt ?

[@pocketjamtracks]

It's basically B7 with a altered 5th and/or 9th, in this case it's a B7#5 or B7b13.

[@Danwackawacka]

Dude i can just play the chromatic scale over this

[@pocketjamtracks]

It's always possible to play all 12 notes in a solo, just use those that are out of the key as passing tones for good notes.
