Progressive Rock Style Guitar Backing Track In C Minor

[cisco2fun1]

basically use the whole neck ...loli will in a min,, Wait and see , will post my take in a bit,,, ha,, this is got to be sick... cool track.. be right back..

[MrCampy123]

Great track but isn't it A Blues?

[amithabajan2]

I would rename this in G Phrygian, it just makes life easier when it comes to finding the tonal centre when improvising. Still, fucking awesome backing tracks.

[SORSCHITARRA]

rock?metal? this is only epicness.

[GALACTICGATE1111]

Unreal Track!, will video respond if I get around it. :)

[sebastianDEATHcorpse]

shut up everybody about scales ....just use your imagination

[silastheguy]

you guys are all wrong that say this is prog rock or prog metal anyone that plays music know that this is cumbia/reggeton...you guys are all dumb...

[jkovert]

It's just a vamp, not much prog going on here.

[CletusGoldsteinberg]

"Hey guys, this isn't rock." Here how you sound?

[MuriloO1512]

FUUUCK THIS ISNT PROG ROCK, ITS PROG METAL.

[totohmnos]

Hey this aint progressive rock, this is more metal, like progressive metal

[rcbpgpg]

actually this is G phrygian, minor obviously.. but the tonal center is G so u can't say it's in C minor.. u can USE the scale of C minor, which actually is the same of G phrygian... nice track

[AoAunrealrob]

@rcbpgpg This helped a lot, thanks!

[zzerovisibility]

This sounds like in the vain of Joe Satriani

[luizjanela]

It's impossible to improvise with a track that has Petrucci in it.

[Sunderlanding]

@luizjanela Don't worry he can't improvise either.

[ChainsawVsGod]

@Sunderlanding

Troll harder.

[Sunderlanding]

@ChainsawVsGod Suck harder. You're dad will never get hard with that wimpy suck.

[Liton777]

whats progressive rock about this?

[LedZepGuitarman]

Guys I really like the sound of this backing track, what sorta bands is this is the vein of ?

[gibbie31]

no but seriously fuck this who wants to play to this shit i keep clicking on it by accident and every time it reminds me of a back sound track to a nintendo game

[Tonesnob72]

Maybe you could come up with a better one.. oh wait a minute you cant make anything just shit on things that others create....what a uninventive pussy.

[JackBlair2]

Why is "progressive" now defined as shredding? Howe, Lifeson, Hackett, et al never "shredded."

[raiders4life37]

This for some reason sounds good w a G minor scale.? I played it In that scale and sounded good,

[MarceloOrtegaGuerrer]

i love it

[IrishLebaneseBeast]

D Phyrigian Dominant sounds. amazing.

just sayin

[THEsyntheticFresh]

Hi dudes, try to play diferent minor modes like; natural minor (VI), frigian (III) dorian (II) locrian(VIIb5) or minor pentatonic all with the C on root. Do not centrate in C like a natural minor, thake it better like an only C - . Try too with harmonic or melodic minor....

[Angryification]

@THEsyntheticFresh The tonal centres would be different if you used modes over it.

[vampslayerace]

My fingers hurt.

[spector1991]

@vampslayerace well your back is gonna hurt cuz you just pulled landscaping duty.

[Rimmez]

Try playing over this in G Kumoi Scale :)

[tabotabojayar]

dammit...it's not so progressive.. stop you cunts... jeroenguitar is correct, this is just in Cminor/Eb major......

[Obliaxe]

OK... enough is enough... there are 4 bars of C Dorian (G Minor)... then it modulates to C minor for another 4 bars, and then it repeats... that's all there is to it.

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

Phrygian dominant ^^

[SIGroxxx]

idk, but I would improvise on a Gmin pentatonic over that backing...

why does it say cmin?

[Nickdiaublow]

@SIGroxxx Nope you would solo in CMinor Pentatonic in this piece. G is in this key where phrigian mode is located

[leckal]

most awesome backing track i have ever heard.

[phqinhipp]

u guys spend to much time talkin bout shit, i make it up as i go, ,,,,,

[jeroenguitar]

You can use,

Cminor

DLocrian

Eb Ionian (Eb major)

F Dorian

G Frygian

Ab Lydian

Bb Mixolydian

They all have the same notes so it all sounds great:)

[Chemicallobodomy]

@jeroenguitar

In the beginning riff you want to use C harmonic minor or G phygirian dominant. It changes depending on where the song goes, but as it goes back around into the intro riff, one would use those scales best.

[gibbie31]

@jeroenguitar people who leave comments like this make me mad. i mean really really mad.

[jeroenguitar]

@gibbie31 Why?



[dann3th3manni3]

@gibbie31 Right. Nobody knows how to analyze music the right way anymore.

[ChainsawVsGod]

@gibbie31

You need to calm the fuck down then.

[gibbie31]

@ChainsawVsGod 'haha!

[Ichigi000]

@jeroenguitar Thanks for your help! I tried some Minors Harmonics as DLocrien#13 with yours and it's sounds very great too.

[jeroenguitar]

@Ichigi000 I'm glad i could help you;)



[FRsleepwalker]

@jeroenguitar Nice spelling for Phrygian :p

[Angryification]

@jeroenguitar I disagree. The tonal centres would be different and would lead to a lot of clashy chords.

[Jacobgordonguitarist]

@jeroenguitar Duh?



[bgrossbe]

G phrygian and C minor have the same notes

[xeroblade012]

sounds complicated. but interesting.

[mr252307]

I think this is in G Phygian. That's what I used..

[ShareefAddo]

This sounds like it's in the key of Fminor.

[Nickdiaublow]

@ShareefAddo its becase In C minor/Eb major F is the Dorian mode, which both pentatonic and dorian scale both have similar 'Shape' as i would call it. You would play pentatonic in 8th position. 'C'

[ShareefAddo]

@Nickdiaublow Oh ok i see. I should know this by now

[Nickdiaublow]

@ShareefAddo No problem music theory isnt really what im best at anyways

[Fluffypopcicle]

@Nickdiaublow

no, you've got it all wrong. this is in the key of W and a half flat sharp and 3 quarters divided by -6.374523.45.2

[Nickdiaublow]

@Fluffypopcicle Sir! Did you study at Berkley this is amazing I never thought of this in the key of W, it works! This is a breakthrough in music theory!

[Fluffypopcicle]

@Nickdiaublow

i was raised as a zen buddhist and we believe that reality might just be an illusion created by our brains so i figured there might be a key of W!!! bath/and logic ftw!!!

[Fluffypopcicle]

@Nickdiaublow

btw that last comment was a joke. i feel the need to say that for some reason.

[Nickdiaublow]

@Fluffypopcicle Haha your comment is on top which is a comment of my comment :)

[KatsuGuitar]

@Fluffypopcicle I tried playing in V and Q over this. I had issues with getting the sharp flat to sound right at times.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@KatsuGuitar

it takes practice, but once you get it it sounds awesome!

[MrClaptonstrat]

@Fluffypopcicle someone doesn't know how to read music haha, jk

[mattnsim]

@Fluffypopcicle hahaha love it. I agree, the key of X min is a tricky bastard. You need to play with only your thumbs and anus. But once you get the hang of it... G Phyrgian baby.

[MrJusticeDispenser07]

@Fluffypopcicle and that's only the first verse O.o

[Poolboy0Paul]

mix it up c minor and c oriental scale... sounds preaty weird but intresting

[Bissmarkpl]

or you could completely rape this track and play in g phyrygian :D

[Dreadlocker3]

guys. try out g harmonic minor or g minor. sounds best to me.

[Nickdiaublow]

@Dreadlocker3 That sounds right because G is the Phrygian mode in the key of D# major and the relative minor of that is C Minor. The reason it sounds right is because The Phrygian Scale and Harmonic Minor sale share a lot of notes.

[Nickdiaublow]

@Dreadlocker3 The Reason G harmonic minor sounds like it works in this song is because this song is in D# Major, and G is the Phrygian mode of that key. And Phrygian mode and Harmonic Minor share a lot of notes together.

[feelee15]

I dont think of this is in C minor. These scales follow the progression: G phrigian, Ab lydian, Bb Mixolydian. All these are modes of C aeolian or C minor. But you really have to think of how the harmony works for each chord to make it sound good

[feelee15]

can you post a link to download this track?

[abarbar06]

yeah this is pretty good

[afrolessnova]

I really liked that track.

[squibble94]

The key progression I use is G Minor, D# Major, then A# Major

[guitarshredder68]

i wish i made this backing track. this is the sickest riff to solo over

[GrooveJuiceGoody]

This is so awesome to shred your nuts over

[connord12]

I LOVE PROG ROCK!!! this backing track is the best!!!!!!!

[lookylooky2006]

theory question

F# minor is the relative for A major

now how can this be used or what significance does it make when playing

thanks for any help on this

[lobyte]

It means that the F# minor scale has the same notes as the A major scale

[lookylooky2006]

thanks

yeah I knew that but I was trying to think does it mean anything more

the closet I can think of is that it is the Aeolin mode and when used you would center the tonality off the F# instead of the "A"

[lobyte]

Sorry not sure what you mean, but if you play a scale relative to another one, and you play that scale itll sound different ofcourse :) Im not sure if theres anything more to it, but im not a theory buff either :P

[drummondF]

c-minor melodic is bueno too

[drummondF]

c-minor melodic is bueno too

[drummondF]

this is my new favorite thing

[JacobLampman777]

YEAH! I asked my guitar instructor about Phrygian and all the other modes and stuff tonight, and now it makes a LOT more sense. This mini argument sparked my interests, thanks guys!

[ThePathofHavoc]

I love the theorynerd speak in the comments section. Way-to-go all you cats who know your theory and use it well.

[MaxBGuitar]

Love this backing track! ;) ^^

[xxxguitargodxxx1989]

its using all the same notes as "c-minor" but you are starting it off with the 5th interval in the c-minor scale, making it either "g-lydian" or "g-phrygian" (i think it's phrygian) read more theory on modes, and that should explain it.... also this scales shares all of the same notes as "d#major" the only thing that makes these scales different is your starting note... this just changes the "mode" not the "key signature"..

[JacobLampman777]

@xxxguitargodxxx1989 I didn't know that. :/

But Im just saying most people find it easier to just go off the Major/Minor key than one of the modes. But thanks for letting me know that.

[brownbigb]

actually it's e flat major. the parallel major. d# major would have b# minor as parallel, which would make it 9 sharps in the key signature. think.

[Noobshreds]

Fifth mode of a major scale is Mixolydian.

[Dreadlocker3]

prepare for the first video response. =D

[Dreadlocker3]

this is fucking awesome!

[Rosesnails]

c minor sounds great guys.

[patrick11deutsch]

Key?

Chords?

[ioannisdenton]

man this is a rare opportunity for prog rock improvisations!

[MxC1337MxCsh43d]

Oh dude. This is sick!

[lobyte]

G phrygian also gives it a nice proggy feel

[Kotofein]

5*****

[lobyte]

Best so far! *grabs guitar

[JacobLampman777]

Bb Major/G minor is the key.

[MaxBGuitar]

Bb-Major

At least D-Phrygian sounds nice. Try it...

[godetroit91]

KEY KEY KEY?
