  Backing Tracks

  Posted by Wazzo on June 19, 2021 at 2:21 pm

  Just need a little advice about playing scales against backing tracks provided. Can you play any part of the scale at any time or does it have to match notes with certain chord progressions at times. I have never really had the opportunity to do this before until TAC so I need a little help. Kind regards Wayne

  Hi Wayne – You can play any part of the scale at any time, and you can embellish upon an improv by incorporating other notes, chords, phrases. Good luck and have fun with it.

  Hi Wayne ( @Wazzo ) All of the vids you see on the “Play For Us” form, they are all going beyond the scale as presented😱 That being said, they are still playing the scale in other octaves😎

  I have just started playing the scales against the backing track and i do find it rewarding. Like @Loraine said, play the scale anyway you like or embellish on your own style. Good luck and have some fun.
