Slow Blues Backing Track - A7 12 bar blues

A slow blues jam track in A dominant 7 ideal for improvising over. This one is very traditionally sounding and I think I was thinking of things like the sky is crying, have you ever loved a woman and other such slow blues.
To improvise over, the A minor pentatonic will work just fine, but if you want to get a bit more adventurous, think A mixolydian over the A7 chord and Am pentatonic for the D7 and E7... or to get really fancy D7 arpeggio and E7 arpeggio over those chords. However you approach it, just have fun.
Here's a lesson showing how to solo over it: • Slow Blues Lesson - le... .

[@malcolmjamesturner]

Hi mate. Can I use this backing track on my channel? Or is it copyrighted? Thanks.

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Hi Malcy, I've just emailed you for clarification

[@cb-cj2ke]

Nice, redo it and make it longer please.

[@Kenzabukuro]

Great track man. 20 mins would be great.

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Thanks Ken! I've started making these backing tracks longer, but 20 mins sounds very long! I'd run out of improvisation ideas after a few mins. I'll definitely be making the tracks longer though

[@JamesKingsilentlife]

Nice work Marc, but why so short? I'm a big fan, but I can't use this one, not even on a loop setting. Just getting into it and it fades out. Thumbs up anyway, just for the form!

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Hi James - it's nearly 3 mins. Is that too short? It's longer than I normally get for a solo in my band.... anyways, I'll see about making future ones a bit longer.

[@dangquesadilla]

Dear Marc Guitar, Is there any way to loop this? Yours truly, TechnologicallyChallenged

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Hi I don't think there's a way to do that automatically on KZbin sorry. Just have to manually rewind it as it finishes.

What is bpm for slow ?

[@rossmelanson6999]

Something is messed up on the D cord..

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Hi Ross - I'm not hearing anything messed up?

[@derekroland7998]

It's D7 add your C NOTE

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

@@derekroland7998 Sorry, I'm really not understanding. Are you saying that I'm incorrectly adding a C note when the D7 is playing, or that I'm incorrectly not playing a C note when the D7 is playing?

[@derekroland7998]

@@MarcGuitarVideos No I noted to Ross that if it sounds off, he'll want a c note during the d7 to give the added tension of the b7 sound

This is riduculous. Is there something subscribers can do to support you?
