Groovy Jazz backing track in F (great for jazz beginners)

[Meritone Music]

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd share this jazz practice backing track in F -

it's pretty handy for getting a taste of playing jazz - and just fun to get either really bluesy or totally jazzy on...

Chords:

II: F9 I Dm7 I Gm7 I Bbmaj7 C7 :II

Theoretically speaking, it's a I - VI - II - IV - V progression.


Scales:


Try mixing F Major Pentatonic Scale: F G A C D (F)

(same as D minor Pentatonic)

And

F Minor Pentatonic Scale: F Ab Bb C Eb (F)

As well as the F Minor Blues Scale: F Ab Bb B C Eb (F)


If you want to get really jazzy about it, I suggest you play around with outlining the arpeggios...

F9 Arpeggio - F A C Eb G

Dm7 Arpeggio - D F A C

Gm7 Arpeggio - G Bb D F

Bbmaj7 Arpeggio - Bb D F A

C7 Arpeggio - C E G Bb


For a slightly more challenging progression, try this Medium Swing Jazz Blues Backing Track in F (http://goo.gl/XMGX7F)
