This backing track is inspired by Joe Bonamassa's style of slow blues.
KEY MOMENT: The turnaround [Im bVII bVImaj7 V7] is Aeolian harmony UNTIL the G7. The B note in the G7 wants you to play C Harmonic minor, although you don't have to.
ALSO: You can play C Dorian for a jazzier sound on the Cm chords (see scales)

----🎸ABOUT THE GRAPHICS 🎸 ----
Your goal as a soloist is to create MELODY. Our neck diagrams give you the notes you can use to create that melody in REAL TIME.
🎸THE LAYERS
Think of the Diagrams as 3 layers of information:
1. PENTATONIC - The pentatonic scale works all the time and almost never changes, so this is the basic level.
2. MODE - The mode will always be the pentatonic PLUS 2 NOTES (modes have 7 notes). The mode can change depending on the chords (modal interchange).
3. CHORD - The chord layer shows you the notes of the chord changes (aka the HARMONY) in REAL TIME. Outgoing notes get smaller and fade out, incoming notes will fade in, so you know what notes to go for next.
🎸THE NOTE LABELS
The note labels tell us about the way the notes SOUND or BEHAVE in music.
R = ROOT - This is the MAIN NOTE. The key center, the tonal center, the BIG BOSS.
m2 = MINOR 2ND - a very dark, unstable note in a chord or scale, usually wants to go to the ROOT.
M2 = MAJOR 2ND - a happier, more stable color note, often added to chords for major flavor. I'm looking at you Jimi.
m3 = MINOR 3RD - This note makes a chord or scale MINOR.
M3 = MAJOR 3RD - This note makes a chord or scale MAJOR.
P4 = PERFECT 4TH - This note is not very stable in harmony so it is often considered a suspension, which means it wants to resolve to a chord tone like the 3RD.
D5 = DIMINISHED 5TH - 🤘🤘 The most unstable note of them all. Diabolus in musica 😈 The Devil. Also, the b5 BLUES NOTE!
P5 = PERFECT 5TH - This, along with the ROOT, is the MAIN SUPPORT of a chord or scale (think power chords 🤘🤘)
m6 = MINOR 6th - A very unstable, vibey minor sound. Usually wants to go to P5.
M6 = MAJOR 6TH - A VERY GROOVY major sound. This note gives the Dorian Mode its Dorian-ness!
m7 = MINOR 7TH - A very important note in dominant 7 and m7 chords. It's also a really great note in the MINOR PENTATONIC SCALE.
M7 = MAJOR 7TH - This note is found in MAJOR, HARMONIC and MELODIC MINOR scales. It sounds very DISSONANT against the ROOT. It's also the reason you hate soloing in the IONIAN mode.
The label numbers are names come from the MUSIC INTERVAL SYSTEM. Google it!
In the AlphaJams App you can control the note labels, which layer, and how much of the neck you see!

This melody is a game-changer for my work routine. The gentle, relaxing tones create a perfect backdrop for concentration. It's like my own personal soundtrack for a focused and stress-free day!

That's awesome! enjoy

I've been playing this track all day my fingers are toast... To the best teacher on the internet and in the Bay area..

Dude!! Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed this one

[@d1velndon770]

Learned from this comment ur from the bay?! That’s where I’m from born and raised, best city in the world🤘🏽

[@schnauzerears912]

You could pretty much play Jimmy Page's solo and phrasings from "Since I've been loving you" over this track.

[@nowyoushred]

Absolutely - I have a feeling the track was inspired by that tune!

[@TheSoundofForgetting]

I actually heard that after 20 seconds into and started to play it for shits and giggles and sure enough it all pretty much can and what parts don’t I just let Ring and vibrato or cut short.. Nice catch of the ears🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻

[@chadcat420]

Playing licks from Jeff Beck's Cause We Ended Up As Lovers is also cool for this track

The slow tempo allow so much it's really great to shred on that ! Much fun !

[@caius3849]

Reminds me of Since I Been Lovin You by Led Zeppelin. Good stuff. Thanks as always. 🤙🏾

I think the Bonamassa track is probably inspired by that!

I got two minutes in and couldn’t stop with the SIBLY haha 😂

[@maxdemontbron9720]

Thanks for the animation lighting up the chord notes. This just made me level up in soloing. Gonna try do that myself now when I solo. Pay attention to the chords being played and not just solo mindlessly to the same generic licks

[@DizzyKrissi]

Didn't expect the chords in the turnaround - cool stuff as usual.

[@nowyoushred]

Yeah, it is a great turnaround!

Can’t wait to practice my sweep picking and shred this brahs😂 Seriously I’m very old school. Something like this is my go too. Play a few notes every 2-3 seconds. That really turns heads when you talk when you play and slow down .

@@nowyoushredas far as shredding and soulful. Gary Moore is my favorite. He could play some of the fastest hammer on and pull off and go full Hard Rock shred . The play something like Midnight Blues . He’s one of my top 3-4 players

And another great backingtrack, Love this song from Led Bonamassa

[@nowyoushred]

Lol totally

[@lowcadence6528]

I absolutely love this track and not to sound like I'm paid to say this - but people check out Alpha jams. I spent ages learning scales and I really think you need to do that before this sort of stuff makes the sense it needs to. But I needed more song styles than just blues with this applications and it's actually so good. Highly, highly recommended.

[@nowyoushred]

Thanks so much for the endorsement! Cheers

Agreed! Thanks

[@Shin0bi_]

Not sure why you added a G note on the 12th fret on the G string, that's just going to confuse beginners. Instead, you could have added a B note on the 10th fret on the high and low E string.

[@nowyoushred]

I beg to differ. That’s where all the classic blues licks are. also, the way we designed the software that’s how it renders 🤷🏻

[@Shin0bi_]

@@nowyoushred That's true but when you're moving into shape 2 of the pentatonic pattern. But fair call if that's the way the software works.

[@TextileMusic]

I loved jamming to this. I agree with @schnauzerears912 -- this has big "Since I've Been Loving You" vibes.

[@Rocker72]

Its pretty much ”Reconsider Baby”. Lovely tune and Joe does it beautifully.
