Blues in D Backing Track

[ianthecook]

Thank you very much.

There appear to be quite a few folk who haven't heard Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac (the original kick-ass blues band line-up) doing a song called Black Magic Woman in the key of Dm. It is absolutely essential that you people listen to that song and then come back here and have a blast. 13 likes and 21 dislikes - the world has indeed gone mad!

I liked It. The breaks were uneven, but cool. I didn't expect them the first time, but I was ready on round two. Very cool swing/shuffle type groove.

[longination]

wtf no offence but the breaks were really spun out and twas no g key

[rjspring666]

This isnt even blues

[RocknRollBlackdog]

Its in Dm and its defenitly black magic woman.

You can tell that its in Dm cause if you play in G it sound like a cat being swung around by its, private bits.

[CaptainBodder]

hahahaha if i could give this comment a thumbs up forty times i would.

[handmethepiano]

No doubt, this is the backing track for Peter Green's (Fleetwood Mac) original version of Black Magic Woman. That should help.

[indagdnm]

It's in D baby

[littlerocker56]

you expect people to play with this come on.

[djdecember]

haha i agree. its a really hard one to improv to. but eh its fun to try

[BackingTracks]

You should change your name to classical as it must be the only music u like as you always have something to say no matter what I put up lol.

[veggieburgerfish]

It's great, but it's in D

[zach7000]

how can you tell its in D, i still cant hear music that well with my ear

[veggieburgerfish]

Play the chord for a blues in D (D G and A) and you see that they you. It's easy to mistake it for G because the two main chords in a D blues are G and D. This only works if your guitar is completely in tune by the way. also if you just pick an open D it should sort of Go all the way through

[handmethepiano]

See my comment from today. It's Black Magic Woman and I believe it's in Dm (or F the relative major). Peter played it Drop D tuning too because there are a few notes, maybe only 2, in that song that hit that low D. Find the original version of BMW and it will all become clear. NOTE: there is a change for the outro and you can clearly hear it. It's the shuffle.

[daviemcf]

It's actually Dminor!

[veggieburgerfish]

Yeah, I was just generalising- anyway popular, blues and jazz songs rarely conform strictly to the tonality which governs common practise western classical music. It's quite often modal in some form, usually it sticks to one Key, as it were, referring to a root note, but whether it's major, minor, dorian mixolydian- it isn't really clear. For example in this piece, the tonic triad of D is always minor, but then many of the other chords played are actually in major form

[daviemcf]

Excellent explanation!......thanks man.

[rjspring666]

It's in D minor...

[Eddieshred]

[deepintoblues]
