Jeez I thought I was the old guy at 54 rock on fellas.

Dude you rock. This is my favourite backing track, been jamming to it since 2013 and showed off some messy shredding on my channel with it, haha!

I listen to your backing tracks as a reference when I make backing tracks because your's sound so good.

Lovely.

hey man I wanted to tell you that not only have i enjoyed jamming to your many backing tracks on youtube but I also listened to your most recent album on apple music. Great stuff man! Keep on doing your thing, you're very talented!

Is this centered around Dorian?

yep

I have it on good authority this is the best backing track in some unknown universes, too.

The Time one is pretty good too.

You said it boss, Currently trying to make a baby with this track She likes it smooth and gentle MAH BOI

Tried to tune me guitar back to standard tuning one time couldn't do it had gone to far out ended up snappin a string

+Beingmanifest GGITS is off Dark Side of the Moon, actually

I was in 9th grade when The Wall came out and the teachers at my jr. high school were not impressed. Except the psychology teacher. He had a field day with that album.

A comment from the legend himself!

It sucks that they got rid of that feature although I believe you can post links in the comments now?? Thank you so much for your support Danny!

+258lemons hey no probs! How's your music going? You were off to uni last time we spoke I think?

@@258lemons hey, it’s been too long! You still playing?

Same here man. Exactly the same.

me too

dr420chino aw man! Thank you so much! That is very kind of you! But honestly I don't mind if you download it; I created this track as a tool for players to express themselves and to just have fun so yeah by all means download it :D. I really appreciate your support however! So glad to hear you've been enjoying the track!

+Matt Jones motion carried

+258lemons I also come back to this track on youtube over and over and over to jam. Love it, thank you so much for posting \m/

+258lemons can you please say what are the chords from 5:05 to the ends of the song?? its killing me Lol. it's like 5 different chords, if anybody knows them I'd be very thankful!! awesome backing track!!

Sounds like Eb F Bb7 C Eb F

Creativity and improvisation? Bad bass player, bad!

oh right, I forgot, we're only on stage to make guitarists feel better about themselves, sorry, my bad

PeknPikle you must only play with shitty bassists lol

Nathan Vleugels if it makes you feel better i'm guitarist and i would rather have a bassist that plays intricately lol

Ghost.Flowers playing intricately is indeed what I enjoy, but the best option is still playing complicated stuff, while maintaining to support the foundation, that's for me a goal to work for

Milt3 i don’t think it’s Gb augmented. It’s a D7 in first inversion so D7/F#

which way would play it

I found out you can play all notes but B on this, with it sounding good, don't ask me for theoretical explanations tho, I'm one of the "heart-playing-noobs" c:

marc marcus cool name

geetarz8279 i believe thta you're correct. I wasn't aware of the key signature until i gave it a listen. Technically, you can use any of the 3 minor pentatonic scales in the Key of F..Some sound better than others...

U missed the fact its a c7 not a cmajoy

sumsh!t but this is Pink Floyd xD

That's exactly what came to mind when the opening came in! Totally sent my playing off into melodic trance lol

***** i think you're correct about that. the intro chord sounds like it...

is it bollocks, this Great Gig is the Sky by Pink Floyd, off Dark Side of the Moon.

love ur vids

Yeah?

+John Smith I never in a million years could never have put into words what you just said. bravo. (...although you could make an argument that punk came before arena rock) but all the same, well said.

Thank you so much

+John Smith There's a difference between music "knowledge" and musical "understanding." It's the latter that truly makes a good musician. However, in order for one to have that, a working and practical knowledge of music theory is absolutely necessary, before one is able to internalize all that information and turn it into emotion.

+Paul Rossi Crying, It wasn't that bad, was it? ;)

I think that I was in a good music vibe this day :p

Thanks for sharing this wonderful story

Isn't it wonderful? I just close my eyes and just kind of let it take me where it may. No rigid pattern, just hit the notes that come to me at the moment. Brilliant!

Jax Sabin There should almost never be a rigid pattern with this kind of music man. Just go with it

ill have to try that !👍

Instablaster

Game recognise game

+Sped Spedding that because its in g minor dorian

lol

Haa

I was simplifying for people who might not have got into modes yet. That's all. Why is everyone so full of hate and cockiness? Such a sad world.

+Sped Spedding haha you're just giving into the darkness man.

xxaaron_txx oh yeah? Look at the description

If u haven't already try isolated gitar On your f avorite Artist As

It's fun

Sounds like it’s the same as great gig in the sky, pretty late to your comment but yeah

@@erikdrage8515 4 years late :)

g minor and c dominant 7th i think.. *late comments gang*

Start with Gminor pentatonic scale and extend :)

You correctly explained, all indeed.

And mix a bit of G minor pentatonic blues licks to sweeten the pot!

Casnikful Объясняю по русски!!!!!!! В этом варианте минусовки используется гамма Соль(G) в Дорийском(dorian) ладу. Значит минор(minor) здесь будет Ре (D). И соответственно пентатоника будет D minor. It will be correct here D minor pentatonic. On a becking a track there are a lot of options with the wrong explanation, it is also necessary to select most. There is an option of this composition in Am, but here it is G dorian - D minor. Why D pentatonic? If is D blues.

play what you want the d# sound good in the right place

Toller Brown ? Жаль что смайликов нет, я бы подобрал подходящий для объяснения. Какой на хрен ре диез, если это Соль дорийский, соответственно также и Ре минор. никакой тут Соль минор и близко не подойдет, если композиция построена в Соль дорийском.

Thought it was just me who thought this sounded like rocket man

Doesn't mean it isn't minor! And the part that goes from Eb to Fsus4 and F is actually an Eb Lydian progression, which is the same as G Aeolian. So you can think of it as G Dorian for the first section and G Aeolian for the second, if you want. Both of which are G minor scales.

I agree, but the title is misleading :)

tylerherbs huh

I like g Dorian for the first part, you can build a lot of tension and release and get super hyped! For the slow bridges I thought g minor sounded fine. The whole song the d# note and e note can be interchangeable. Build tension, bend them, hammer them, hold them. Or do that 4 note chromatic run off them! Haha ; )

thats lile saying this is paris not france

(spoken, Irish accent) "When I threat the night / and each time we're doin' it..."

It is rocketman

dammit now I can't not hear it.

yes, i think so... or maybe he's thinking about patterns or boxes. He's not for sure thinking every note

David Gilmour is 100% conscious of every note that he plays. It's not a matter of improvising with a specific scale, it's about following the chords. When he's playing over a G Minor chord the notes G Bb and D will sound the most grounded because they make up the minor triad (1 b3 and 5). Within the minor pentatonic scale the third note is the 11th (C), and the fifth note is the minor 7th (F). Then you can use Dorian to get the 9th (A) and the "dorian" note, the Sharp 13th (E). the coolest thing about it is those key notes change over every chord. When it changes the a C7, now your major triad and most grounded notes are C E and G. Your pentatonic extras are the 9th (D) and the 13th (A), and your modal note, since this is the dominant chord the mode is Mixolydian, is a Flat 7th (Bb). And wanna know the craziest thing about it? all of these complex extensions are ALL notes within G Dorian. So it's not about "busting out G Dorian" and just playing a scale up and down. It's about knowing how to use those notes wisely. Does David Gilmour know all of this? Yes, absolutely. Now, not all guitar players do obviously. Hendrix had such an incredible ear that he could hear all of these complex extensions without knowing what they were, mainly because he just grew to know the sound of it. My long awaited point is this: If you are trying to improvise and you are "not conscious about what you're doing", chances are that there is a lot of knowledge out there that you're missing out on that could really helpful. And let me make this clear. Guys like Gilmour know this stuff so well and know the sound and know the relationships between all of these different formulas and when he plays, he doesn't need to think about it because he can do it without thinking. Don't confuse unconscious incompetence for unconscious competence.

Lol funny but true, if practising scales and trying to eartrain from them with the intervals in the right place the best place to go is a drone track as the intervals remain correct for the scale you practice, but i guess these backing tracks break up the monotony, I would say as Gilmour was playing he could follow the chords and then play what he was hearing, and maybe the dorian visualisation would of helped find notes at some point, notes he knew he wanted to play, which ever method he used he got there and didn't do it by sleeping and letting his guitar lead him. although we have to remember once he played a song it was memory. I agree there is a mindset you need to get in to play well, especially if your singing something emotional not to get to emotional that you throw your guitar and not to be to alert that you have no emotion.

Conor McCarthy So you are saying Gilmore never just lays a track down and closes his eyes and plays and feels the notes , without planning as you stated above knowing this will go best with that etc., etc. ? You actually believe that? or am I misunderstanding? I don't read music, played on and off now for 43 years. I played with friends who play all over the world, professionally, and I have to tell you you seriously don't know everything there is t know about music. I use backing tracks, & have people make them for me, as well, and I (and many others) just create as it plays and I have not one clue of what I am doing except for what I either hear in my head to play next or , what I feel in my fingers sounds right. I record it and sort out whats good and repeat, until I get what I like, and once we hit record the last time that's it, and my friend no one has told us what the notes are or any of the musical tech people like me don't use. I know more than a few other people out there who do exactly the same thing, and will tell you the same thing. People don't always sit down and compose music as you explain above. If you're human & musical you are going to improvise and create something on the fly, and us it, later or work it into what you want, or maybe it's right the first time, and never has to be changed. I know some of my stuff if not for recording it, I would have forgotten and would never ave been captured again , and lost forever, just part of life. Losing memory abilities sucks, so recording, becomes your memory. :-) Part of learning to make and create music was playing along with records and tapes, and other people for everyone I know in the music business, and world. You may have just brainwashed yourself and maybe a few others but, not all of us. Lol :-)

so basically keys, scales, music theory in general doesnt matter just do anything and you'll sound good? good luck with that sir.

what's wrong?

icekura it sounded great! 😄

thank you :)

Michel Cormier if we evolved from lower animals then it isn't a far assumption to believe there is no creator, if there is no creator then there is no external empirical truth, if there is no truth everything is relative, if everything is relative then you cant be sure everything is real, if were aren't real then there is nothing to live for.

tbone martinez And if there's nothing to live for then everything becomes beautiful.

David Belton Why? There is no reason for something that hasn't been created to beautiful other then your subjective opinion. When something was created it has mystery to it which creates a type of beauty unto itself.

Michel Cormier No thanks, I'm more interested in playing my guitar.
