Hard Rock Backing Track in G or C ( 80's Style )

[henrykoers12]

great to play freebird , c pentatonic and g mixologian on.

[killerjay64]

Haha, used the C harp well...

[crazyfingersJG]

That was fun...need to replace my strings after that bend -a- thon...Thanks!!

[MrKoutsuko]

Free Bird.

[guitarman122508]

I just had a music orgasm.

[nipeterni]

Nice ;) I just raped my wah-wah pedal!

[nikkystyx]

FREE BIRD

[aur3L74]

I think it's written that's in G or C because it can be played in G minor or C major, which is the equivalent of G dorian, so it can be played in G eolian (normal minor) or in G dorian if you wanna do a modal impro ;)

[Fgttgem00]

@aur3L74 You are only partially right. It is in G minor. But that is not the equivalent of C major. It is the equivalent of A# major. Simple way to figure it out is to go a wholetone+a semitone up. Or if you just wanna look at it as frets.... whatever Minor your in... go up 3 frets and that is your major. So for instance A minor is your C major. If you go to google and download a copy of The Guitar Grimoire: Scales and Modes.. read up on that some and it will teach you all of that stuff

[autocrow]

Yep, awesome is the word...

[FrankieJmAn]

awesome!



[bag2289]

it's in G.. there's no such thing as a song that's in two different tonalities at once.

[kevinanthony87]

freebird ftw lol

[janomolnar]

@kevinanthony87 yeah .. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird... best for fuckin´ loud jam

[BelRiose2000]

I do not understand, these chords are G C D D. So I don't understand how this song could be in C, it is in G right?

[InfiniteExplanation]

@BelRiose2000 in G

[rileypoole1234]

@BelRiose2000 The chords are G Bflat C C

[fenderlonestar1]

@rileypoole1234 That's right bro G Bflat C fun song to jam 2

[InfiniteExplanation]

lol in G not in C....

[bullshitproof]

@InfiniteExplanation it could be C, just think of the G blues scale, you still go through C so you could be both, whether u start on G or C it`ll primarily sound the same.

[metalhead9167]

i played this whole thing and never ran out of materiel :D thanks man.

[HendrixSRVClapton]

would you fly high free bird yeah!?

[klownn]

I stopped jamming to this when I saw the wah-man

[fixxxer928]

Oh man this kicks my ass when i try to play really fast but i love it, it is pushing my abilities like crazy!

[nikolas99t]

level: expert-------> try to play like each one of the guitarists as their photos come in your screen

[NenadBeki1997]

@nikolas99t Cool idea! 

[1shin123]

@nikolas99t the only one i can match is kirk... cause my solo sounds crappy lol

[Thewildwindblows]

@1shin123 You must have a wah pedal.

[MrPalma93]

@nikolas99t 2.47?!?!? =)

[Secto29]

@MrPalma93 SLASH AGAIN :P

[7StringSeven]

@nikolas99t Challenge accepted!

Loljks i'm not THAT fucken good yet. At all... -___-

[ilgladiatore84]

freebird!!

[smokeworst]

KEEP LOVIN THIS ONE!

[Mesaboogiedualrec]

G major or A minor.......C would be lydian

[jannkkes]

@Mesaboogiedualrec E minor, not A minor...

[SkaterSTF]

@Mesaboogiedualrec a minor wuld be almost lydian too, since its similar to c major

[fangchengchen]

fuck yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­h awesome trackkkkk!

[nimal0207]

Yeah! This was fun.... very strange though.. it kinda brings u to "Free Bird"..... Thanks for the track! :)

[123Tering]

@Dennizzz119 i was born with 11 fingers.

[matthieu71]

I did a hard rock guitar backing track in E minor for those who want to jam on :)

[ParadoxCAVA]

G or C??say what? that sounds like a minor bird

[MrDiziMan]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that's the rthym of the solo on Lynyrd Skynerd's Freebird!

[slythe109]

@MrDiziMan It's not the exact same, but it is extremely close.

[BarophobiaIsFun]

Really it's just a rock in g, same chord progression as purple haze (cept that's in e), or a million other things. The chords are just the first three notes of the minor pentatonic, but minor scales like dorian or aeolian or whatever don't fit brilliantly. A good idea is to mix the major and minor pentatonics.

[PitchBlackGuitarMan]

@BarophobiaIsFun Yes but there is not much of a difference between Major and minor. Try to mix 2 or more minor patterns. for ex the 3 possition ( fret) with the pattern on the 6th frett. it's nice

[commetsmasher]

@BarophobiaIsFun or you could bust out some weird ass shit and start playing in f locrian or maybe a b phrygian, or throw in a mixolydian lick every once in a while or something. that would be wild XD

[JTheGuitarPlayer]

FFFFFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE BBBBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRR­RRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!! That's the Rhythm under the solo (in case anyone didn't already know). \m/ Gimme that Skeen-nerd!

[huh0uh]

isn't this the end of free bird by lynyrd skynyrd?

[MindControl2011]

@huh0uh thats what i thought XD

[Musicmaker703]

i was really fucking rocking it out.. even tho it might of stunk.. but practice makes overachievers lmao

[iD4v1d]

Fuck I started playing free bird haha

[Dennizzz119]

In a G Major scale are the notesm G - A - B - C- D- E- F# And G again, so tell me why the second chord is being played is an Bb Which is part of the G minor scale

[6str1ngedMarsh]

@Dennizzz119 cuz g major is gay, use g blues or minor pentatonic..



[Gio6SIC6]

i just can´t resist to play frebird's knocking out solo!!!

[guitarlordification]

free bird :D!

[bocobola]

MIXOLYDIAN!!!!!!!\



[RockStarEnergy97]

FREE BIRD

[SirBigBrain]

this is litterally a copy of the rythym guitar fdrom free bird's solo

[guitarramaniacx]

@SirBigBrain its a backing track of freebird...

[metalgarry94]

freebird lol.

[ShortFingeredShreder]

I forgot that Free Bird is just Em Pentatonic, this backing is PERFECT!

[Dennizzz119]

@ShortFingeredShreder Freebird is Gminor rofl.

[ShortFingeredShreder]

@Dennizzz119 It's G major, which E is the relative minor...

[Dennizzz119]

@ShortFingeredShreder G-minor, i bet you,

[Berserkedy]

@Dennizzz119 It's G Major.

[Dennizzz119]

@Berserkedy Freebird is in G minor.

[Berserkedy]

@Dennizzz119 The beginning part, but for the song in general it's primarily G Major. You could use any G scale and it would sound good, really.

[MultiSvendSved]

fucking great backing track... real simple.. i think i did my best bass solo so far on this track!

[FlyingLawnMower123]

A girl walked into my room while I was playing this...she is now pregnant.

[keithgatti]

tell me im not the only one who played free brd

[cemcemcemify]

@keithgatti Ha ye i played the exact damn solo haha

[theengelsbak]

@keithgatti HAHA WOW I DID??:O

[dnon75]

@keithgatti no

[milamber54]

[fivepiece]

Caught me off guard. I was about two mins into jamming when I realized I was playing a bunch of very familiar Skynrd riffs.

[balee94]

LoL I haven't used any scale just let my fantasy free and it came out awesome.... one of my best jams thx m8!!!!!! eargasm XDDD :D

[PSPx5000]

Just had the most orgasmic jam over this, but I'm afraid I also stopped playing at 2:53

[Baka237]

I was playing along this backing track, and when I looked at my computer and saw 2:53 , I stopped playing. I'm sorry.

[Ichigi000]

You mean Free Bird solo Backing Track. This one is very powerful and it's always a pleasure to jam on it!

[worldofurin]

wooont you fffffffffffiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­ind a freeeeeeeeeee biiiiiiiiiiird

[TheDoc1019]

My fingers hurt from all the soloing I just did using a Gm Penatonic

[stonerhappytv]

I just mastered the most masterful solo to this

[theultimatexperience]

Lol. Sounds like Skynard.

[Dennizzz119]

I was born with 6 fingers, but I played too fast now one of them is in an other dimension.

[RayWilliamJonshon]

@Dennizzz119 Tough luck, being born with only 6 while everyone else has 10.

[Dennizzz119]

@RayWilliamJonshon Good fun copycat

[MrShaunwheatley]

@Dennizzz119 It's okay you still have one more than most people

[devota]

@Dennizzz119 I was born with 10

[talmaneloc]

good sound 

[saguitar541]

you can play the solo to freebird over this haha

[MrVictimMan]

what does "asa o sa fac" means?

[yz80full]

it's very important to learn the 5 position pentatonic, you can put it on everythimg (sorryfor my bad english)

[Goosemeyer]

It's G pentatonic.. and nice!

[Marius1988Roma]

If Maryjane is illegal... why this is legal???? It's so fucking addictive and awesome!!!

[wayneivey1]

That was fun, My Les Pauls Very Happy Now

[PitchBlackGuitarMan]

[midgety1]

[benjy091]

[eliteslayer66]

[Residentshade]

[marte632]

7 Minutes is NOT easy.

[chokicou]

sounds like this great lynyrd skynyrd's Freebird

[aerofreak9A]

Perfect!!! :))

[ragrytakr]

Lol I've been playing with some backing tracks pretty much the whole afternoon , then i found this backing track. And i played the shit out of it. Then i palyed the shit out of it again , playing behind my head etc for no particular reason. When i checked how long this one was i was fucking shocked and my hands immediately started to hurt like fucking hell. 14 minutes of blues-like shredding dear god.

I'm so fucking tired I'm going to get a shower and then jam one more time.

[Flamie666]

mmmm try using the F or Dm scales, use A phrigian and Dm Pentatonic

[ragrytakr]

@Flamie666

You mean F mixolydian D phrygian, A lydian and Gm pentatonic?

[spwb2k]

@ragrytakr Or perhaps C mitichlorian B ad nasuem, G Lorem Ipsum and E bubonic chronic?

[Flamie666]

Try using the F or Dm scales, A phrigian sounds nice, Dm pentatonic, etc.

[JoshGoldie]

i found myself pretty much playing the free bird solo......:P

[Dennizzz119]

@JoshGoldie Its the same chord progression yes :P

[flavitoandresito2]

Gm - Bb - C

Gm Pentatonic

[xCryHard]

Awesome! 

[videopown101]

Free bird!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol

[ZettExplosive]

Thumbs up if you were playing licks close to free bird's without noticing it

[blasbal]

Great backing make great solos!!! this backing is so easy to make great jamming on it!!!

[LIAMcanbefoundhere]

Thanx a lot for a nice long backing track, and at a fast tempo too! I've never rocked full on like that for 7 mins without stopping!!

[101pete101]

FREEEEEEE BIIIIIIRD

[ChukkDiesel1]

I didn't know what it was until i naturally found myself playing free bird licks lol.

[somethingneverseen]

man that's free bird from lynyrd skynyrd lol's

[Kyyp3r]

G bles combined with pentaton?I thought the're almost the same

[ragrytakr]

@Kyyp3r

Yeah they're ALMOST the same , hence why You can combine them.

[KingScottProductions]

Thanks, 3 hand cramps... I like this one...

[TheMizWebb]

[koekopeenstokje]

I hope my neighboors like my soloing xD

[Musicmaker703]

[PitchBlackGuitarMan]

Can i improvise in D major pentatonic? i sense there is a D major there

[TheLongLakeRockstar]

That's funny I found this two when I was downloading some backtracks. It is a nice track to open Shred on.

[KieranM1000]

Can't get enough of Free Bird. Thanks for uploading.

[aquaba17]

it sounds better to me to use the G pentatonic,aeolian and blues scales for this backing track and throw in some licks from Freebird and You shook me all night long... what do you think?

[Lasbike]

@aquaba17 every nice hard rock song in G tbh. Add some paradise city to it also, and some improv of course ;)

[Mithaerian]

free bird '-'

[jimzzypeak]

My hands on FIRE!!!!!!!

[johnnyjammer90]

[Quikfingers]

hahaha I just can't play anything except the Free Bird solo over this

[Vexus666]

@Quikfingers But that Solo is iconic... there's nothing wrong with playing that over any backing track if it fits. :D

[vandall12345]

the is key is G minor , A# major, C dorian....etc

[Ronbodog]

great to play free bird solo too

[Ululix2]

I liked it, but I got bored, I like it when the backing track changes at least a little bit

[1996Prashant]

[unknownsilenceband]

its in the key of G but its great love the bass lines

[unknownsilenceband]

[FelicianB]
