Blues in C Minor Funky Dorian Blues Jam | GUITAR BACKING TRACK (C Minor - 79 BPM)
Need a couple ideas for how to play over this? Go HERE: • Video
This track is loosely based on "Chains and Things" by B.B. King

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. 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.
In our app AlphaJams (currently in Beta), you will be able to control which layer you see, and how much of the neck you see. It should be out in the next few months, so please stay tuned!
Good luck and thanks for checking it out! ✌🏼 ✌🏼

John Mayer once said on a livestream something like, "Making blues backing tracks to solo over, it's the epitome of public service."

[@nowyoushred]

Haha I guess I never really thought of myself as a public servant lol

[@frankoniko8158]

There are thousands of guitarist who thank you! Everyone is playing computers..it's hard to get live guys together 😂

[@james-497]

john mayer is bag of hot wind

[@youngboyharless9769]

@@james-497 he's aight, There are many who come to mind who surpass him. But for some reason he's extremely talked about, compare his playing to Srv. And there's no contest

[@mrbubbies_]

Having the scales and the most favourable notes highlighted per chord change is an absolute game changer for me in terms of really processing how to play with the chords. The applause is most definitely deserved.

[@nowyoushred]

Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the Alpha Jams app. Coming SOON!

[@nowyoushred]

I just made this track free on Alpha Jams so people can try it out: alphajams.com/play/530/funky-dorian-blues-in-c-minor

[@SteveMeiers]

Ditto. This makes modulation and key changes so nice and easy to see and hear in action. I can’t believe how much this helps improvisation and learning how to use scales and triads to make actual music. Game changing indeed!

The applause at the end keeps me coming back to jam

[@nowyoushred]

Haha I thought that would be a fun addition

[@SteveMeiers]

No more drunk bandmates. This is great. Thank you!

[@youngboyharless9769]

Drunk drummers are the worst

[@nowyoushred]

Haha i hear ya!

[@nowyoushred]

STONED drummers are the worst! Always 15 BPM slower than the rehearsal 😂🤣

[@brendanfoster5320]

This is brilliant. I’ve never managed to get into that much of a groove while playing before. Perfect to just play some juicy, effortless pentatonics over. I’ll be coming back to this quite often.

[@nowyoushred]

Great to hear that!

[@shrekislife4203]

Yeah me too!! It’s a really good backing track. Really, really good. Prompts to you @nowyoushred

[@openstagedenver6257]

Sweet! Yeah the applause at the end was quite a nice surprise. Plus it was great to signal the end of the jam. Great job! Thanks for the jam!

[@nowyoushred]

Thanks, that’s been a controversial addition, so I only include it now and then

[@myloopz82]

::D this sound always makes me smile

[@bobadler3097]

i thought that only happened for me :( you mean you guys killed it too?

The applause is motivating, nice touch!

Major Pentatonic all dayz longggg I do switch back and forth as a tribute to the greatest of all time; Dwayne Allman

[@tylerdelancey577]

My favorite track to solo with by far 😊

[@zeloblues]

This track is great for training I minor, IV and V chords notes targeting. Now I can visualize that the dorian scale contains IV and V chords target notes. Its a great scale for this chords!

[@nowyoushred]

Absolutely!

[@dcp8nts]

Love the applause at the end. Great track!

[@nowyoushred]

Thanks!

[@aryashreeshrestha823]

such sweet backing tracks with that fret board description is just amazing mann!!! Thank you for this!!!

[@PaulJamandSolo]

This is incredible! Imagine if all of us musicians could all come together and wonder what we could all come up with! That would be so much fun!

[@nowyoushred]

I have a feeling it would sound like this track actually haha

[@patmandew22]

@@nowyoushred just getting into jamming with these backing tracks on yt and this one is great. It just randomly got played and I just started not surprising I looked up to see Dorian blues jam. I only know a little theory, but I know the Dorian jams are just super comfy ! !

[@nathanielbrewster7238]

Ya I think that's in b minor

[@thatsmyassbrostop]

Sounds like born under a bad sign

[@vaclavhanusekv1717]

Not really, it would have to have a VI major chord, A7maj in this instance.

[@RussellNollenMusic]

Thank you for sharing this! ❤

[@markd5235]

Well done! The claps at the end are a nice touch.

Close your eyes, don’t retry to go all over the neck, and just feel it. That will guide you.

shit dude i just jammed out some suprisingly sick licks on my acoustic to this. felt like i was on stage

[@nowyoushred]

Awesome!

[@Dirtydrock001]

I need these chords broken down lol I ain’t advanced enough especially with gales stuff and this isn’t even that hard compared to EG stuff thanks

[@nowyoushred]

Broken down like how? If you go to alphajams.com you can select small areas of the neck and just work on those

You can, or you can try harmonic minor. What would BB do?

​@@nowyoushred that s what im figuring out

I am a bassist so it's what would John Paul Jones do

[@peleyoichkeret2964]

I know just blues in is Cm *Fm* Ab G not Fmaj, i want the 6 chord

[@zimou3040]

Got a fucking good time thanks

[@nowyoushred]

Could use at least G chord for the end of the progression (instead of a the long I)
