tune up by miles davis
@AMMstudios c minor sounds fantastic over this, really jazzez i up. thanx
So? Fuck the industry, it killed itself, file sharing encourages bands to gig and reduces the profitability of solely electronic music.
I use the c minor pentatonic on this with my alto sax
vwbug1971 , you are absolutely right
and by “get you far”, you mean rich and well-known, right? maybe for some people, music isn’t all about the money and glory, but its about enjoying what you do. so go ahead and play four chords to millions of people (like thats gonna happen) and i’ll continue to learn and appreciate more than one style of music, and grow as a musician. or you can just get a vocoder and grillz and be super awesome and well loved, since thats what life is all about.
It’s really in three different keys… D, C, Bb. It’s the progression from a Miles Davis tune, Tune-up.
Knowing a variety of genres is best for those who want bookings. If the gig leans more toward rock, then play more rock; if more jazz, than do instrumentals all night. There really is no more music business today, no more high hopes of being found. File sharing has killed the business, so be well-rounded, and you might stay working.
Its tune up. And its in the key of D major though it modulates down by whole steps until the turn around
i reckon jazz sounds better with a cool beat..
like jazz and hip hop.. but rock is the best. ever.
Couldn’t have said it better. Much agreed.
@iseesymbiotics
thats what music has become, it lacks substance and emotion. just listen to whats in the charts and you’ll know. but rock just kinda works whilst being simple and well loved, jazz doesn’t get you far.
i’m trying to learn jazz harmonics… i find that frygian A seem to work nice to this track? am i really incorrect?
it aint about the people, its about the music, its about being right to yourself, if your content playing the same stuff over and over again without musical growth then that is fine, i respect that, others do not share your point of view so respect them as well. every music genre has its day, jazz lasted a excellent 40 years, rock is beginning to fade away as well
so then you would rather be musically ignorant and well loved? i have nothing against rock, but this kind of attitude just pisses me off.
A mode is a key you idiot
thing is about jazz and rock, jazz guitarists play millions of chords to four people, and rock guitarists play four chords to millions of people.
i know where i’d sooner want to be
i like it
It’s “Tune Up”, a song by Miles Davis. Though it’s really a basic 2-5-1 chord progression, which is as basic in jazz as the 12 bar blues is to blues.
Fantastic Backing track!
nop, ther chord are em7, A7, D maj7.
dm7, G7,Cmaj 7
and cm7, f7, Bbmaj 7
use can use G bebop over the Dm
G aeolian sounds temperamental too in here
thats a mode, not a key
