  • Wish I'd found this track sooner!! thank you so much for uploading this piece of genius!! :D

  • First-The song is NOT Dm-My take is to treat the song like an F-Bb-C (I-IV-V) since the second chord used is a Gm7, its simply a substitute for Bb-

    I use the F maj scale, G Dorian and A Phrygian (1st, 2nd, 3rd position-whatever) and the, yes, Dm scale (the VI from the key of F). So, in effect, you can say, yes-I'll play the Dm scale throughout.

    This worked out well-treating the song as if it we're in the key of F and a I-IV-V (not blues though because its NOT a blues tune).

  • It doesn't matter if first chord is 7th or not. The key is that chord PROGRESSION is C,Gm,Bb, F. That's a typical C mixolydian progression. Of course you CAN use Dm scale since it is relative to C Mixolydian, but tonic note is C, not D.

  • @Maegirom BTW it's an easy tip to play in first pattern of A pentatonic scale, but incising in C as tonic, i.e. a C pentatonic (major) scale, doing the typical first pattern from A.

    Later, when song modulates to Am, you can use the SAME pattern, just changing the tonic from C to A.

    Hope this helps and sorry, my english sucks.

  • It's like I've heard this song before and I know exactly what the solo is note for note. :D

  • Thank You !!

  • Great track!! thanks!

  • The key is C major, not D minor. I would recommend playing C mixolydian over this backing track, because the first chord is a C7 and the mixolydian scale's 7 is a minor just like the chord.

  • A MAJOR

  • @DillonAilloud NO C MAJOR

  • C mixolydian!!!

  • Best backing track out there

  • Wow dude, I love it! Gave myself goosebumps, this tune is really addicting! Thanks a lot bro! (:

  • how the hell is it c minor when the FIRST chord is c major?!?! Can play G ionian over it but technically it is c major (ionian) or d minor as title states... C mixolydian would only be correct if first chord was C7 as a pose to Cmaj7 even if it sounds right. However after all of that scales scmales play whatever... Dominant 7 over any major chord always works for me however to suggest definitely c minor... ???

  • @ijustwanttogeton dude, chill. just feel it, man... feel it...

    

  • @TheShreder1000 OK I can try chilling... Feeling it is all good as is "not knowing what your doing but go with it because it sounds good"... So long as it's not a semitone and especially not on the 3rd...

  • Nice tune...but it's in G.

  • @MrCikaPera LOLOLOLOLOL wow

  • it's definitely in C minor. Still, nice tune.

  • @dannywalk C mixolydian..

  • Sounds just like christopher cross- sailing

  • its in C ...now stop

    

  • And F Major, which is the relative major to D minor. Just me being a smartass. lol

  • Sounds like zakk wylde back track for "road back home" but a little faster

  • C mixolidio!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Cool. While jamming try throwing in some E Locrian. Sounds pretty good.

  • i love this chord progression

  • Not D minor. The beginning is C Mixolydian then it modulates to G Mixolydian then back to C Mixoldian again and so on...

  • @SomeDopeAssShit i aggre with you but you can make an correct average in D minor :)

  • @SomeDopeAssShit how did you hear that

  • @superdog797 a little bit of ear training and not relying on TABs will do you good my friend :) peace

  • @SomeDopeAssShit C Mixolydian is relative to D minor.

  • i love this track. can someone please tell me the progression?

  • @MegaGuitarplayer123 Progression: C - Gm - Bb - F (8 times) Bridge/Turnaround G - Am - F - Eb

  • this piece is very perfect, no need lead guitars anymore

  • felt like i was jammin with bruce hornsby for a minute there

  • Very versitle piece. I tryed thinking in A minor pentatornic, E phrygian, C Major, D minor...etc....very cool melody lines pop in and out of your awsome backing track.

  • you have got at least 100 wiews of me haha;)

  • chorus / turn arounds at :49 , 2:01 , 3:13

  • sounds grateful dead-ish / perpetual groove ish! love it :D

  • C blues works. It really does seem to land on C mixolydian though.

  • Awesome, I just had an amazing jam to this. Thank you so much!

  • C mixolydian!!!

  • @maasinkamo Exactly the same thing as D aéolian, E Locrian, F ionian ...

  • yeah... C Mixo sounds the sex over this... so much fun just bouncing around those notes man :)

  • Bruce Hornsbyish. good stuff

  • It's G Minor, Starting On A C Basically.

  • @woodsterix Yes but you could also play in C Major to get a southern rock kind of feel. I'm thinking Bob Seager like,

  • fucking nerds, stop talking shit and play the guitar

  • @user3182

    Don't be a cunt you cheeky little nobody/

  • can anybody tell me which chords are in this progression? I wanna strum this

  • @nickparana chord progression = C major, G minor, A# major, F major

  • @patrickshawn13 Thnx

    

  • It's in the key of C (Mixolydian). Try switching between C Major Pentatonic (5th fret) and C minor pentatonic (8th fret). C Mixolydian is the same exact thing as D minor and F Major, blah blah blah, but it's always better to play in the key of C so that you can maintain a solid tonal center.

  • damn fools!

    just play Am pentatonic and get over it!

  • I played the lead track in Dm as CreamerMusic suggested.Check it out on my site.

  • It's a f'n G minor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • C mixolydian (play like in D minor but start on the C ) :)

  • no you guyz understand nothing ,it is a G# Phrygian in the key of R

  • This is F major, which is the same as D minor, but the different root will change how you improv and resolve your licks.

  • Alright folks, C Mixolydian it is, now play it son, play it!

  • this is c major

  • @jamanursula C major? it's a lot, but it's certainly not C major, it's F major, (which has the same notes as D-minor)

  • It's not in D minor.

  • This is one motherfocking awesome, alluring track !!

  • God, I love the Internet.

  • @Dennizzz119 god didn't create the internet.

  • @ArgKing I didnt say so..

  • @Dennizzz119 I can`t blame you! ppl say the gtreatest invention ever was the wheel, OK then the second best invention today is the Internet and I wouldn`t be surprised to learn that in the distant future it ends up deemed the truly best ever - The Internet is the BRAIN OF PLANET EARTH

  • it's past midnight and I had to get my guitar and jam, This is awesome, thanks a lot.

  • This week on home and away.

  • Jam to it with your eyes closed and you'll see a generic opening for some family TV series in which a joyful golden retriever runs through the field and children laugh in slow motion.

  • who gives a fuck what mode or what key they are in, its a good track enjoy it and play along. dumbfucks love to argue not to listen . enjoy, relax, have a beer or two, smoke one or none.

  • why can i play " A major pentatonic" in this and "F Major" and "D minor" scale and "F Major pentatonic"

  • @NoKeTri Just because it is theoretical not possible, does not mean it is practically impossible

  • People need to post video response's to this!

  • A brilliant track, inspired me for this video

    Cheers from Germany

    Werner

  • fm pentatonic ftw

  • Funky track, makes me think of the Corrs. Great tune for trying out different modes - I started out with C Dorian (OK only one note difference from C Mixo, but its still my preference) but after reading the comments below and trying other modes out realise that theres lots of room for improvisation.

    C Mixo has the same notes as D Minor of F Major, but see how many times you end on a D or a F compared with a C - this should be what tells you the key and therefore the mode (i.e. C Mixo).

  • Comment removed

  • oi is this your composition , or who composed this? I swear if you did you got plagiarized.. some other artist stole this and made it famous ... adding shitty lyrics in spanish

  • Hey, I know the key is not right, but just be glad it's here and just play in the right key.

  • This is a Modal backing track my friends! Not a tonal (major or minor) backing track. C Mixolydian is the mode (relative to F Major and D minor), but the key center remains into C.

  • @rchacon777 yes thumbs up... try 'em all

  • I don't suppose this will stop the arguments, but for the record D Minor, F Major and C Mixolydian all contain the same notes, so apart from conceptualisation it makes to difference. C Major and A Minor have also been offered up -- these contain the same notes as each other and as D Dorian, which is a perfectly logical thing to play here, although the natural 6 (B) is dissonant in some places. Whoever said F# Major is either tuned up a half-step or likes playing outside.

  • This is major, not minor. Wow

  • I just pick up my guitar and play. Simple as!

  • You just gotta love how people argue. Cant we all just agree that it's a nice song and the C Mixolydian is one of the best way's to play it, and the A PENATONIC is also pretty good. And i belive this have been explained a thousand times here, so cant we say what James Brown would have said? "Let's hit it and quit?"

  • It's in C mixolydian geniuses

  • I love how classic blues pent. licks show themselves in a completely different manner in this.

  • sounds like something from steve morse's high tension wires. The correct  scale would be in f major but as it centers around c, i'd say c mixolydian is more accurate. Thats c-d-e-f-g-a-Bb-c

  • Brother, this sounded AWESOME with my new Native American style flute that I just finished today... it's in the key of D tuned to a minor hexatonic scale.... GREAT track

  • Try using D locrian, sounds great oddly enough, the tonality is pretty ambigous on this track so many different scales can be used. stop arguing over what key it's in, its in D, it resolves to the D, that doesn't mean you should use the D natural minor scale only though, mix it up. In that sense this is a great backing track because it gives you the freedom to use many scales.

  • ITS IN C

  • It IS D minor, it IS F major, and can be applied in most modal applications. D minor pentatonic works, F major, F mixolydian, D Dorian and so on.. Don't limit yourselves to what these idiots have to say people!! F MAJOR IS D MINOR. Work out what sounds good and just DO IT!

  • im just enjoying the track, you're all being bitchy about the key for fuck sake i dont give a shit

  • i find that a G octatonic scale works well over this. or actually better yet an E# melodic minor scale.

  • as some other people have said, this track isn't in d minor. it's in C Mixolydian (same notes as D Minor just the root note is a C) but also if yuo want to go for a more bluesy approach, the D Blues/D Pentatonic scale works well if yuo chose your phrasing right

  • Wait whats all the commotion?

    From what i play and i hear,

    I would go with Dminor, F major, A PHYGRIAN.

    A minor on this? You guys serious?

  • soloing over this... better than sex

  • This track always ends when I just get started

  • can someone tell me the chords on piano??!???!!!!

  • Great with C mixolydian

  • d mixolidian

  • @NathanMantle

    Finally a reasonable response. You also addressed the biggest problem for people learning and the cause most of the psuedo-theoretical arguments. There are only 12 notes so there is a lot of overlap. Every note in the D natural minor scale works so that's the "KEY",but there are a lot of "pieces" of other scales that will work. Experiment away people, that's what music is all about. But knowing the "correct" FULL key will allow you know "why" experiments and "out" notes work.

  • nice video, but please remove. It's giving the theorists fits.

  • Sooooo GOOD =D

  • I ended up using C scale lol. Minor in some parts and major in others. But never D.

  • @agus9507 fail!

  • @CastAirLead It's not fail you dumbass, if you don't believe me check it out. I've recently discovered that mixolydian scale works better though, but C minor and major pentatonics sound absolutely right. I'm sorry if you'r life is a failure, but my comment is not =P

  • To set the record straight, I believe it's Fm# octogenarian

  • Is not Dm .. It's Gm Relative Bb Major

  • To set the record straight here, this track is C mixolydian.. same notes as Dminor, Fmajor, Aphrygian. And yeah, this track is sweet.

  • @Frankenzilla I'm with you, I tried that mode and it sounds right that A# is very much at home in this track reminds me of the Alman Bros or something can't quite put my finger on it.

  • This can be played with many scales -.-

    A Phygrian

    F Major

    D Minor

    ETC

    However this song has a MAJOR (Happy) vibe going, the chord progressions are mostly MAJOR.

    So MAJOR would work best, but MINOR would still be FINE.

  • Actually, my boys, you should feel what is happening in this key. I can assure you, with ALL of my fucking balls, that this is a major key. No matter what key it is. Minor keys doesn't sound like this one.

  • @eloelo14 Best comment I've ever seen! :D

  • ts F major, end of the story! And its a wonderful backing track, thank you!

  • It makes you want to tell Satch about this very track and have him make a song with it. >.< Damn the original creator of the track for being just that awesome! :D

  • Comment removed

  • i see im not the only one who loves this !

  • really nice track to jam on :)

  • i love this track! jammin too it puts me in such a good mood :) jam away everyone!

  • F Major

  • I lied. C Mixolydian.

  • This sounds more like C minor to me... Beautiful track though, I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

  • I love the track, it's very smooth.

  • All you music theory heads can shut the fuck up! And just fucking jam, no one cares on youtube how much you know, thats why youre commenting and NOT uploading or writing or doing anything musically substantial

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose i agree man, everyone is goin' nuts over the key.. C fuckin' mixidoricontiniesianflarflarfl­ar.. i dont give a fuck, i failed music theory in high and i dont care 'cos i just love jammin' to this awesome tune ! :D

  • Wow... first smooth rock backing track I've come across. I mean like really smooth. Reminds me of something that you'd hear Satch soloing over... :D

  • @Vexus666 Indeed! This one's a keeper. =)

  • JAUAJUAJUAJUAJAUJAUJAUAJU LIIIIIESSS?? , it is obviously C mixolydian !!! It doesn´t matter if it is not the relative major form D minor , It is just the mode wich better fits with the armony , Please try to learn a bit more of music before saying that rubbish.

  • Dude it sounds so much like fire and rain from James Taylor xD

  • You can also use C Dominant Pentatonic. Its just a minor pentatonic with the major 3rd (E) instead of the flat 3 (D#).

  • @stratofink5772 Flat 3 would be Eb. D# although enharmonically equivalent is a raised second scale degree, not a flat three. Score one for pretentious music theory nerds. . . Hate myself but I'm right.

  • Nice, where did u get the backing track from?

  • even if I won't always play to the song, you will get at least 500 wiews from me

  • i love this backing track! Thanks!

  • very nice! thanks for the video.

  • If this is in Dminor is C mixolydian, G dorian F major not all relative anyway yes A minor would not sound good as it would have the natural 2nd not the flattened 2nd which would suggest A phyrgian also relative?

  • OMG this track is in d minor end of story... A minor sounds horrible.... D minor sounds great... end of story.

  • @JORDnYAN

    You are so ignorant it's ridiculous. If you really think this is in D minor you obviously have no musical understanding. First of all the chords are C!!!!!! Gm Bb F. Or a V ii IV I chord progression. C would be raised to C# in d minor scale to create a major A, or V chord.

    Go back to playing power chords and Nickelback bro.

  • @Guitarismylife10 Thank you. He is such an ignorant fool.

  • @Guitarismylife10 Dont be so hostile dude.. you're a bit incorrect. Dminor comes from Fmajor. Notes of Fmajor are F G A Bb C D E. Now, D harmonic minor has a C# in it if thats what you mean, but minor scale most often implies Aeolian mode... which in this case is D Aeolian. C mixolydian is the perfect fit, and you nailed the progression, but just let him be if he says D minor because it's the same notes as C mixo... but not harmonic minor if thats what you are thinking.

  • @Frankenzilla

    Yeah, but this is clearly in F major. It's evident from the chord progression which progresses to the tonic, like I said. You may be able to use C mixo to solo over it, but the track itself is F major. I was only so hostile because he attacked the rest of us who have actual musical knowledge. And because he said end of story twice and had a million "......" . Which is just annoying..... end of story...... end of story.

  • @Guitarismylife10 Not trying to be mean, but maybe you don't know as much as you think you do. This is a modal progression and C is the tonic, not F. Do yourself a favor and play a static F over this progression and see if it ever resolves.... Im sorry, but it doesnt. It only sounds good over the F chord. Do the same with C and you'll see it resolves very well. Saying the Key is F major is fine, because it's written that way most times, but C is the tonic and that makes this a modal progression.

  • @Frankenzilla I can agree to that. So in conclusion JORDNnYan, this is a Mixolydian Modal progression in the Key of F major. Not D minor.

    And as aforementioned, please return to listening to Nickelback. That is all.

  • And just one thing, if you guys are using pentatonics, C minor pentatonic will actually sound the best to most people because the common bends will hit sweeter notes. To you guys unfamiliar with C mixolydian, try playing C minor pentatonic and include the E note. Use the D# as a blue passing note to the E. And right on to whoever said it sounds like the Allman Bros.

  • @JORDnYAN fuck you A-minor is great

  • @JORDnYAN .... this song is in c major/a minor...

  • @Evan8203

    No, it's in D minor. There's definitely a b flat there.

  • @aleks6287

    You are right. i played my video response with a D-minor Marine band harp from Hohner and it works

    cheers from Germany

    Werner

  • @Evan8203 lol no it's not, although those scales seem to work, the B in that key clashes, because in F major/ D minor (the correct key) there is a Bb instead of a B :)

  • @Evan8203 in which momemt ?? its Dm

  • @JORDnYAN This is C minor/ C major (A minor).Try mixing up C minor pentatonic with C mixolydian, that sounds great :) You can't have a clue about tone if you say D minor sounds great and A minor sounds horrible. D minor belongs nowhere in this

  • @AndreasSku93

    Lol D minor only differs from A minor with one note. And this is obviously Dmin, try to play an E over this track. It's obvious that it is a leading tone, which it is not in A minor. Same goes for F.

  • @JORDnYAN Its in F major

  • @DillonAilloud @JORDnYAN Sorry I mean F!

  • @JORDnYAN its not D minor!!! Playing in D minor is ok here, but the song is F# MAJOR!! The scales are the same, but the title is wrong this song has to be played in F# Major :) But since the scales of F# and Dm are the same, you are almost correct :)

  • @Marius1988Roma Lol dude Dm - F#?

    If anything this track goes in F major

  • @hellsSG sorry i also wrote after that comment that I meant F !

  • @JORDnYAN

    The key of the song and the name of the scale are completely different things. C mix sounds great here, Dm sure as hell doesnt.

  • @JORDnYAN OMG this is not in minor at all, end of story. It's F major, D is it's relative minor but they are not the same thing
