Extreme 2-5-1 Jazz Workout Backing Track - Slow to Fast Swing!

🎼 TABS, SCALE MAPS + LESSONS 👉 http://www.patreon.com/QuistJam From slow swing (80 BPM), through medium swing to very fast swing (300 BPM) - this is a 1 hour long jazz practice jam track for improvising on major 2-5-1 progressions in all 12 keys! Starts at 0:40. Perfect for beginners as well as advanced players...
Challenge yourselves!!!!! Thanks for sharing the love...HAVE FUN!

The 2-5-1 progression is one of the most essential building blocks of jazz. If you were to practice with this track every day for 1 month, your jazz improv skills would undoubtedly sky-rocket and you'd be able to apply your newly-gained prowess on a vast number of jazz standards!

The track moves through all 12 keys a total of four times! Quite a thorough jazz workout, which will surely improve your playing and open up new paths....
Chord progression:

II: Dm7 I G7 I Cmaj7 I Cmaj7 :II

Then

II: Ebm7 I Ab7 I Dbmaj7 I Dbmaj7 :II

And so forth....

(see the video for each progression as the track goes on)
In theory, you can start by sticking to the relevant major scale in each key - as in C major scale on Dm7 - G7 - Cmaj7.

Next up, try outlining the chord tones/arpeggios:

Cmaj7 arpeggio = c e g b

Dmin7 arpeggio = d f a c

G7 arpeggio = g b d f

Playing C Major scale will result in C Ionian (Cmaj7 chords), D Dorian (Dm7 chords) and G Mixolydian (G7 chords) - all the same 7 notes!

Then, I'd recommend trying out some more advanced colours on the dominant chord (G7/G13) by using the

G diminished 1/2-1 tone scale = G Ab Bb B C# D E F (G)
....and then repeat in all 12 keys!!!!
