Play-along starts 0:30 Here's a 30 minute medium swing jazz practice backing track for improvising on minor 2-5-1 progressions in all 12 keys! The progressions move up in semitones and the track has no comping - leaving you lots of space to improvise/solo/comp as you wish :)

Chord progression:

II: Bm7b5 I E7 I Am I Am :II

Then

II: Cm7b5 I F7 I Bbm I Bbm :II

And so forth....

(see the video for each progression as the track goes on)


Scale suggestions:

(For the first 2-5-1 in A minor)


A minor scale - A B C D E F G (A)

(Bmin7b5 chords and Amin7 chords)

A harmonic minor scale - A B C D E F G# (A)

(E7 chords)


Basic arpeggios:


Bmin7b5 arpeggio = B D F A

E7 arpeggio = E G# B D

Am7 arpeggio = A C E G


Next up, try out some more advanced colours on the dominant chord (E7) by treating it as an altered chord and using the altered scale:

E altered scale - E F G Ab Bb C D (E)

The altered scale is the mode which starts on the 7th step of the melodic minor scale, so in other words - the notes of E altered scale are the same as those of the F melodic minor scale :)


....and then repeat in all 12 keys for a proper jazz workout!
