Bb Blues Playalong

[butcheniho]

You need to work on those voicings man. Harmonising sax lines in 5ths doesn't sound hip.

[SIRONEDRAGON]

very cool : )

[uwantthisawesomename]

i just played along with this song on my alto.. i just learned a shit load in 6 mins!! thx! :D

[alexdude1123]

Great job!

[rtoolio]

I'm blown away by you guys!! Your bass player is crazy tight in that intro and your horn section totally reminds me of the brass bands I heard in New Orleans. Keep on keeping on!! If you guys ever tour through Pasedena little me know, would love to check you guys out.

[odetoatoad]

@rtoolio its a program. the computer is playing it all. theres no band.

[kk4ist]

C Eb F F# G Bb C - minor (play on chord 1)

C D Eb E G A C - major (play on chord 4 and 5)

[weston123100]

[Guitarhreomaster16]

[bruteshot473]

This is concert Bb blues which for instruments in concert pitch it's just like C major.

[Predator3361]

Great track for Eb blues harmonica :)

[shaggymattrocks]

[SuperSaretta86]

miticooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooo

[WilhelmKojac]

Thanks! This works nicely as a backing track.

[Mr00luke00]

im sorry but you play 30 bars and have a total of 192 bars out that is FUCKING retarded it might be blues but that doesn't mean you can relax for most of it... i basicallly made a cup of teas is that 48 x4 bars rest.... i supposed playing this at shows give the audience time to have a toilet break and get a pint of beer formthe bar before ou have to play again...

[MeTube7734]

@Mr00luke00 there is something called improvisation and that is what you are supposed to do when you don't have notes in front of you.

[TheMusicman2015]

any way i can get a copy of this

[TheMusicman2015]

Any way I can get a copy of this, It ROX

[TheMusicman2015]

This has helped me allot with my soloing on guitar.

[TheMusicman2015]

This has helped me allot with my soloing on guitar

[joseflip007]

the drums failed trying to swing

[TonyF273]

i like the written tempo.. QUarter note = 250.... haha!

[willwelsh816]

do you think you can post a pdf of the entire arrangement, in the concert tuning? This sounds like a fun one to play with my jazz band, I like that sax melody, but I would add maybe a pit of trumets at a mf whole-noting the chords, while the sax play at a f. A piano would be awesome at this tune, I just wanted the pdf to use as a sort of springboard for writing a head, and then using the melodies you have already, I like your style of composing. =)

[jpjdo1212]

this is really fun to play with electric guitar... soloing with guitar on a jazzy backing track is fun..

[wastelpod]

thanks a lot...

great thing for improvisation and to practice "tenor madness" by sonny rollins =D.....

[LackadaisicalE]

lol this is a great simple walking blues, Im giving my harmonicas a spin here, thanks!

[ClueLou]

thought had my horn in front of me... let me get it and try it out.

[chino15siu]

this is amazing , how can i download it or get the sheet music

[AllToeSax]

i'm gonna be giong bom bom bom bom in my head all day now. This tune's too damn catchy.

[PHSMustangSAXPlayer]

im likin this... its helpin me alot with my tenor improve (just picked it up today) i been on alto for 6 years lol

[Valerio960]

listen CRAZY FUNKY by Minicillo

[tankbrute6]

hahah its missing the key signature!! (Bb and Eb)

[CyberK007]

its not uncommon to see a non-modal piece written without a key signature. I have a book of transcribed solos and not one of them (including one over a Bb blues) has a key signature.

[willwelsh816]

@CyberK007 yeah, the key is just assumed on a blues, or any other common jazz progs, like a ii-V-i

[TromboneMachine]

@tankbrute6

no its not missing because it's for B flat instrument.

[dkjpump]

I;m lovin this. This really helps with my rhythms,and improv .Alto sax

[tylerwscott]

C blues for trumpet! :) C Eb F F# G Bb C <- Notes that sound best with this.

[Reedmaster22]

@tylerwscott D: Bb blues scale! I would have never guessed...

[reynoldslife]

thanks alot

[leadimprov]

Very nice. Excellent.

[TheRangersleadtheway]

its a good sng you have e fat and a b flat i play the tenor sax its fun but we dnt play any good songs

[jazzflutist]

Play everything a 6th (C becomes A, D becomes B, E becomes C#) , just to punish yourself and make your life miserable.

[AltSaxTenorSax]

cool!!

[boga1990]

nice composition,it is very helpful..thank you..:)

[edenstump]

That was really good (=

[AltosaxMan44]

this song kind of sounds like "Beluga Blues"song

[saveGOP]

Thanks so much for this, it was great for improvising on my trumpet.

[supermaques]

this is very helpful, thank you.

[theotakone]

Nice playalong, I used it for improvisation with my new guitar without looking at the notes - I don't know a thing about scales but I had lots of fun experimenting, trying to "feel" the blues scale. Great for jamming too, even if it's not the real intention.

[D2TBinc]

alto is in Eb so thats probly whit is sounds weird how do i transpose this?

[Kebabzruz]

Play everything a fifth above, so a C becomes a G, a C# becones a G# and so on

[myrridin]

@Kebabzruz Pretty sure Eb instrument should transpose a fourth. Bb -> Eb, C -> F, etc

[Bebopopotamus]

@Kebabzruz For Eb instruments, you transpose a minor third down (three half-steps). Bb blues for alto would be G blues. Bb blues for tenor and trumpet would be C (one whole step up.)

[PHSMustangSAXPlayer]

or give it to yuor Jazz Band and just Solo lol...

[nintendofreakXD]

@D2TBinc Try improv! this is a repeated 12 bar blues, chord changes are Bb7, Eb7, and a D7 Im pretty sure...... just play around those, playing whats written is laaaammme

[myrridin]

@D2TBinc @Kebabzruz Pretty sure Eb instrument should transpose a fourth. Bb -> Eb, C -> F, etc

[killerjaz123]

@D2TBinc ....lol you play the lydian of g..and flat the fourth hhhaha.. i mean..what else do you want to hear bro...use your ear ..

[nordhill92]

and sorry i did not read the note about the video

[nordhill92]

Yeah i thought so, sitting here with my guitar transposing it for a C instrument. Nevertheless it is good to play along with. Thanks for clarifying.

[nordhill92]

Sry, but what instrument is this written for?

[Kebabzruz]

Any instrument in Bb - Trumpet, Tenor / Soprano Sax, Clarinet etc, although instruments in other keys can use it. I believe that it is a Bb blues for instruments in C, and a G blues for instruments in Eb. Please correct me if i am wrong though

[tHEXxMiStAbROWNxX]

@Kebabzruz Can meh the first chair tuba man play it but i think tuba's are inC are they?

[Kebabzruz]

@tHEXxMiStAbROWNxX If the tuba is in C, play everything a tone down, using the Bb blues scale for solos. If its in Bb, play as written

[tHEXxMiStAbROWNxX]

@Kebabzruz so play it an octave lowerr ? nd you should add meh !

[FvNeRaL]

@Kebabzruz this is a C major blues for Bb instruments ;)

[Johnohpro8]

i will always need something like this

[themusicsideoflife]

is it possible to mix with sibelius?

[Kebabzruz]

There is an inbuilt mixer with sibelius that allows you to change the volume levels of the various instruments, but you can't introduce new sounds for the instruments themselves.

[themusicsideoflife]

but are the instruments in the programm good and pure?

[Kebabzruz]

not particularly, but i think you might be able to buy better sounds as an add onn

[Luigi7007]

When you say you can't introduce new sounds for the instruments themselves, forgive me if I've misunderstood you, but you can.... you can change the clarinet to sound like a trumpet, for example...

[whynot1771]

uhm yeah retarded kid, theyre in the same key..

[themusicsideoflife]

nice
