Funky Groove | Guitar Backing Track Jam in A

Hi EJT, can I have your permission to use part of this track on a BBQ video for my smoked turkey legs? Personal use, non profit only. Thanks!

I got half a smile and zero shame...

Cool!

why can we play A dorian and A mixolydian ??

👍👍👍

This reminded me intensely of Captain Beefheart!☝️(rather than Godfather J Brown of funk). Fantastic funk with my added pseudo Don Van Vliet’s growl and Zappa like riffs on my Strat. Just got into the groove that I almost fainted with all that endorphin release🤣👍👏. What a fantastic track! Right key so A7 chord in 1st position and 12th fret. Easier. Wonderful stuff. THANKS.👏”I’m gonna booglarize you baby.” CB and the Magic Band👏

Is that pic of Doyle Bramhall Jr's strat?

Phish - Wolfmans Brother (half step lower)

Reminds me Who did think I was - John Mayer. Cool!

Try pentatonic shifting… in-out-in

James gang meets jimmi meets john mayer? Im so confused 🤔 but its great!

Yeah man I'm all over the place

Who did you think i was.

verry simililar to the progression of good love is on the way JM ;)

Everyone who's listening to this backing track, listen to who did you think I was by John Mayer after this. Thank me later..

1.25x

Much to surprise, been a working musician for 40 years+ Feast or famine, can't seem to stop. Dig your your progressions and groove. Thanks for showing the chords, less thinking on my part is always welcome. Cold beer, sticky blunt, and jam along often. Subscribed so I can find ya easily, your welcome.

I had way too much fun with this.Great track.

who did you think i was

The Ron Jeremy is strong with this one 😉

Men, Thank You So Much!!! Nice Backing Track!!! lml

Hey that's cool to mix the scales and what not
I learned many of these modes long B4 I ever knew the names. As such is pretty. Obvious. Considering the mysterious nature of music with it's. Daunting 12 tones and the various. Combos. In between. But for the most part. The scales and arpeggios with their various respective ornamentations and those aren't that many. Types to. Know.
Like on the piano for instance the piano has laid B4 us the c major scale is All the white keys
Now if you know your" do re mi "
Then u could expand from this base
By simply assigning a harmonically agreeable chord on each. Note in the. C major scale
For instance
C- C major or c major 7
D- D MINOR OR MINOR 7
E- E MINOR OR MINOR 7
F, - F MAJOR OR MAJOR 7
G- G MAJOR OR G7
A- A MINOR OR MINOR 7
B - B DIMINISHED. - AND BACK TO
-C .
One could than add all the flats or sharps remaining a diminished arpeggio or what I began

Do the two lines of chords correspond to the scales? ie, are we meant to play A Mixolydian over the A7 and A Blues over the rest?

Definitely isn’t a rip off of Mayer’s ‘who did you think I was’ haha

This backing track is very exciting

i started improvising with the blues scale and the mixolydian, i ended up playing "who did you think i was" i don't know why ahahah ! very nice track though :)

Man I feel like a pro playing over this jam! Just so much fun!

people!!!!! mess around swapping between mixolydian and dorian you're welcome

Who did you think i was john mayer

im gay

Thank you!.🙏

As an old working pro, it's always sadly comical to hear the "which scale over which chord, etc." as if all solo-ing & jamming reduces to that formula. It's a bit like, "I'm writing my new GF a letter. Should the verbs be mostly, etc. etc...Is past perfect tense OK for a romantic, etc.?" LOL.. It's about VOCABULARY, phrasing, fluidity, etc. etc. Scales are a SMALL part of "improvising" - or it ain't improvising. 
Just sayin'...Thanks for your time! 👍🏻

I am korean. so good music :)

I don't mean to put down this amazing track but is this not just John Mayer Who did you think i was just funk

Country funk? Ooook

I can clearly hear inspiration from "Who Did You Think I Was" by John Mayer Trio

One of my funnest jams to play with! Thank you! You are my flawless, never miss a note band. 😉

Its too funky, I can't handle it 😄

The strat on thumbnail is on🔥 who used that strat is it an artist strat or cs?

keep up the good work! :)

ads in the middle seriously?

Who did you think it Was! But funky

Nice.. love having a FUCKING add in the middle of a track.. really

funk 49 joewalsh

Nice!!!!!

You going to have to do better than this all I hear is slow pathetic riffs. Speed it up have a bridge or middle 8 and keep to under 7 mins...ITS THAT SIMPLE.

Rec Room VR type beat

This rocks and all but it seems so busy that idk where to fill in space for bass??? Does that make sense? Any suggestion?
