D Minor Practice Backing Track

[Guitarisforgrins]

So fun!!

[KisuoIIGuitarist]

Uhm is the scale really in D minor?

I think its in A minor :/

[guitanorak]

@KisuoIIGuitarist Yes it is in D Minor. If you listen to the chords it is Dm7, Am7, Gm7. You can always (in general) get the key of a song by its 'Root' or 'Home' chord. In other words the chord it starts with. In this case it is D minor 7th. guitanorak

@guitanorak I dont mean the track.

I mean the picture.

@KisuoIIGuitarist If it was an A Minor scale it would give you the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, with no sharps or flats (its the same as a C Major scale but begins on the note 'A').

[guitanorak]

@KisuoIIGuitarist Sorry I posted my last reply to you under a different name (SongSurgeonReviewer) previously :). Anyway, yeh if it was an A Minor scale it would give you the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, with no sharps or flats (its the same as a C Major scale but begins on the note 'A').

how the hell u supposed to read that

[SlaveExplosion]

@mossberg451 learn scales lol

[SongSurgeonReviewer]

@mossberg451 Look at it in full screen mode and you can see the note names. However my advice to you is to think in terms of shapes on the fretboard not individual note names. This makes transposing to different keys a lot easier. guitanorak

"She's a black magic women..."

[GINGER939393]

yes she is indeed

[andydico]

what are the black markings over some of the notes in this scale is it for like bends and stuff not sure at all

[guitanorak]

re: andydico. Actually they're just fret markers on the guitar neck - that's the way the software (Axmaster) does the designs. Cheerz, guitanorak

[sysphus13]

It's black magic woman, might as well just say what it is, no?

[guitanorak]

re: sysphus13. It is a bit like it alrite :). Cheerz, guitanorak

[Sunderlanding]

Thanks for putting jam tracks like this up, but (not to be an asshole) there is no such scale as D relative minor. What you have up there is D natural minor or D aeolian, and the A#'s should be labeled as Bb's. Other than that good stuff.

[guitanorak]

re: Sunderlanding - you're right - whoops on the #'s and b's in the chart, and D'OH! :).

Although technically speaking this scale CAN be known as a "Relative Minor", I shouldn't have named it that here. I've renamed it in the description cheers. guitanorak
