Minor Backing Tracks for Improvisation Vol. 1-19 Release

Minor Backing Tracks

for Improvisation Vol. 1-19 Release





if you are looking for guitar backing tracks (works if you play other instruments as well) with that sad /sorrowful/ melancholic feel then this volume will be your good friend. This backing tracks volume includes 14 tracks. Tracks are extended enough in duration to allow you sink their feel and internalize it first. That will allow you later to express your musical ideas on your instrument and create phrases, melodies or motifs.

This volume is the result of one year of dedicated work. It has been recorded and produced in 2018 and those 14 tracks are chosen carefully to cover a variety of styles. It will also help you practice relative modes like Aeolian - Phrygian - Harmonic Minor - Phrygian dominant. Here is an example of a scale map that will help you visualize your passages on the fretboard.


All backing tracks have a video version on Youtube where you can listen to the backing track and watch on screen a guide aided by scale maps and a few helpful improvisation tips. It is really a useful practice if you could plug your guitar for example and play one of those videos on a big screen. With regular practice you could take your soloing abilities and improvisation skills to the next level.

Here is a list of the scales you can practice using the backing tracks included in this volume:

E Natural Minor
E Harmonic Minor
A Natural Minor
A Harmonic Minor
C Natural Minor / Harmonic Minor
D Natural Minor/ Harmonic Minor
G Natural Minor / Harmonic Minor

You could also practice other related scales like minor blues or minor pentatonic with all those backing tracks in their relevant keys.
