Thanks to all of you guys using this to boost your jazz playing skills!!! I now also have TAB & standard notation for the intro solo, if you'd like some more "words" in your jazz vocabulary → bit.ly/2p5iKnD And there's TAB for the comping as well → bit.ly/2H9z4wh AND scale maps → bit.ly/2KNlSvW HAPPY JAMMING and thanks for the support!
Thank you ! Is it possible to have tab notation for the drum loop on this video.....somethig you can see as its playing ?... who could do that for me, if not available ...thanks again
Quist thank you for sharing bro. the tracking is really cool 😎 man, specially the way you play the 2-5-1, on C Major. I'm telling you bro. you're sound great, I mean like a professional. keep up the good work. I just got interested in playing jazz 2-years ago, but this year I learned a few jazz guitar chords. Just passing time I'm 73 years, but away love the jazz music since I was very young
I'm old...I've been playing guitar for 30 years. I have bad arthritis and about 3 months ago I fell over a wall onto a two foot slab of concrete. I broke my right wrist badly and crushed thye ball that holds your arm in the socket at the shoulder. I'm ready to go...clean bill of health. First and foremost I am a drummer, singer, songwriter. I have excellent fretboard knowledge and theory. Circle of 5th etc. so why am I doing this considering your post is three years old. I want to be a better guitar player...unlearn bad habits. C D E F G A Bdim C w w h w w w h 1st 3rd and the 5th make a C chord. C,E,G I really know stuff but I'm slow...I need to learn to compensate.
sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the account password. I love any help you can give me!
Dude I cannot even describe how helpful this is to me. I am a jazz piano player, and often times I can't find anything to practice with because everything in Jazz seems to have piano in it and I cant focus on what I'm playing compared to them. This is a common 2-5-1 chord progression and it helps me brainstorm stuff to do for soloing, and I can actually hear my own piano chords so that is making me a much better player. Thanks so much!
The best way to learn to improvise this type of stuff is 1) create a line , stolen or inspired mostly from a hero you love, who touches your heart and soul.For me me, it Clint Strong. 2) learn the line slowly, in one position. By learning, this means repeating it perhaps a couple of hundred times. Stop whenever your hand hurts!! 3)resist the temptation to practice anything else, just focus on this one thing, for hours, days ,weeks, however long it takes to achieve total mastery over this one lick. 4) repeat over the backing track, and as it burns into your subconcious, watch in awe how you'll naturally add little of your own decorations and variations of rythm onto the line. 5) repeat the process, for the exact same line, in as many positions on the neck as possible, at least half a dozen. Don't put a time frame on your practice, just focus on this one thing, and enjoy it, loose yourself in the music. If you practice too many different things, you'll master nothing, instread focus on mastering one thing, and your playing will elavate.

Draxtor Despres duuuude, that is so fr***in cool man! Have you had a go at the one in all 12 keys yet? #challenge 2-5-1 Jazz Practice Backing Track - 12 Keys in 30 minutes!
QuistJam my son is forced to do Suzuki on the violin by his mean teacher [just kidding. she great!] so for REWARD purposes we JAM JAM JAM and yes = should do 12 keys next!!! THANK YOU!!
There’s nothing like quitting because you don’t get it quick, like you get everything else in life. It takes years. If you don’t have a love of guitar and patience it’s not for you.
trestresbrel true. Making the VI into a 7th chord is a common thing in jazz, as you will see it leads towards the IIm that way (Dm7) in an even stronger way... the "expensive" word for it is Secondary Dominant.... I hope that helps :)
Sometimes when improvising i just close my eyes and before i know it im not even playing the "right" scale anymore but it still sounds awesome. I love jazz.
been practicing with this track for about a week as a warm up before lessons. the freedom I experiencilize, with no worries, no high expectations (it's only a warm up, I say to myself), is so great. Thank you.
Hello Quist, I' clik in the link above and I´ pay a patronate quote 2€ The Downloader, but i can't download any TAB. Probably I'm wrong. Can you help me, please? I want this TAB only. Thank´s
Really nice backing track, I'm learning a lot by practicing on this! And thank you for the tip of using G diminished on the dominant, it gets a very interesting colour... but why does it exactly work?
GREAT idea Jerry!! I will def make that.. I'm about to go on tour though, will see if I can get it together asap, if not b4 the tour, it'll def be first on the list when I'm back!!
after playing along to many of your 2-5-1 backing tracks i'm Finally learning how to tie in altered licks on the 5 chord to sound hip. after playing relentlessly to the thos 30 minue all 12 key backing im finally getting the jazz Sound that ive been desperately reaching for. Much thanks to you as you have the nicest sounding backing tracks out there. Was wondering if you'd be so kind as to consider doing a backing track with a 2-5-1 and a bridge or other nice vamp to break it up and bring it back and forth. I think it would help us learn to how to transition fluidly from out 2-5-1 to other parts especially when we wanna learn how to flow through a whole standard like a pro. thanks again for all your work you're the best
Thanks for that! Only just started getting into Jazz, and the example that you played at the beginning really helped me to find a few similar licks of my own.
In the intro, he plays a lick that includes G# (G-G#-G-F-E-G). Given that the G# falls outside the scale of C-major and this chord progression all sits in C-Major with no substitutions, why does that sound good? Help appreciated :)
Dear Quist tv I would be very thankful if you could help me with tabs of theese arpeggios ? Are they same to bebop scales? Pls help me I'm dying to improvise jazz like u did ! Thanks for your answer!
Yeah I have tried it :-) It is great! I actually think your tracks are the best jazzbackingtracks I have found on YT. Also nice that the dynamics change during the tracks. Btw are you Danish? :-)
love your tracks man, I was wondering if there's any specific reason why on some II-V-I videos you recomend the altered scale on the V and on others, like this one, you recommend the diminished scale?
It's fun to riff with pentatonic minor on stuff like this, but it always feel like the turn around is coming. How do you avoid that when playing blues over 2-5-1 jazz?
Sometimes people will alter the ii from minor to half diminished. If you look at it as d locrian, you can alter it further by playing Ab lydian. From here you can also alter the G7 with a b9 before resolving to C major. Alternately, you can alter all three chords from C harmonic major (c major scale with b6) making the d locrian the same besides no lowered second. Altering the scale on the two by using Ab as mode of F jazz melodic minor works just as well as using Ab as a mode from C harmonic major.
Excellent backing track! I've just started studying Jazz like 1 month and a half ago. I've been playing for looong time...but now, I really want to play and enjoy it! But, obviously, I find it really difficult...but that's the point! (I don't know even what I can do with this 2-5-1...apart of playing 1-3-5-7 arpeggios!) Anyway, thanks!. Regards!
You're intro is really helped me improving my scales, thx dude. Also im a beginner and i wanna be a musician and build my own youtube channel, but i only post 2 of my videos and it got 200 views!! Also i just wanna say that you're videos are what improving me and making me closer to be a real musician dude thx!!
does anyone know where i can find a track where the changes happen twice as fast? (so 2 bars total). I'd also like to know if someone found a 25-Track, rising by whole step, while each 25 takes one bar.
Ohh my God! That's so great! Thank You for posting this! I am just starting on the Alto Sax. Could you post something like this in E flat? (My C then). THANKSSSSS!!!!
Thanks Justin! No pedals - the trick is rolling most of the tone off on your guitar (using the neck pickup).. and then also playing with a fairly soft (right hand) attack. That's all!

Nothing beats practicing jazz licks at 5am when everyone is asleep. Great track. Cheers.
…On a saxophone 😳
True
I can agree with that.
100%
doing it rn but 3 am :D

Damn.. I read that while the backing track was playin. That speech touched my heart. lol. Great information though, man.
thanks for the advice
Fantastic advice. Thanks for taking the time!
jerry levy ok
Best advice
For the jazzers out there.. more swinging 2-5-1 tracks are on the way! Bb next... any specific keys you want?
How about A major? :) Thank you for these backing tracks.
QuistJam Luca carboni
Eb...Ab...Gb...Db. It's time to get serious.
2-5-1 in all keys, but instead of moving in fourths, have the major I turn into the ii of the next key (Like the bridge in wave) Thanks!

Hi
There’s nothing like making you feel like shit before you improvise
It's not necessary to play fast, just start with simple melody
There’s nothing like quitting because you don’t get it quick, like you get everything else in life. It takes years. If you don’t have a love of guitar and patience it’s not for you.
😂
I love it, I can play random notes over the top and it sounds like Jazz
You can add the VI chord (A7) to the mix with this new jazz jam track: Medium Swing Jazz Backing Track (2-5-1-6 in C) :)
Why A7 ? Am7 is VI of C
trestresbrel true. Making the VI into a 7th chord is a common thing in jazz, as you will see it leads towards the IIm that way (Dm7) in an even stronger way... the "expensive" word for it is Secondary Dominant.... I hope that helps :)

experiencilize? 😂👍
Dude I used this track to learn jazz guitar, walking bass, jazz piano and jazz drum set. Absolutely perfect
That was the jazziest jam ive had so far
Haha😂 Am I the only Saxophonist here?
This is perfect for slow improvisation!
Me too man
I play sax
Haha I thought I was the only one. There are no specific sax backing tracks so I use all kinds of blues guitar backing tracks.
the amount of hours ive looped this....... So helpful and fun!!!!!
perfect track for improvising on pennywhistle in C
So cool that over 3 million people have jammed to this 😏
God loves you!!! Keep playing
I've been listening to this into for a few years and I can't get over it... your solo was just too perfect and it's time I learn it
helped me figure out what accidentals are good to use
is this applicable to piano? I'm new to jazz playing and finding a backing track so I can practice jazz improvisation
Yes totally! You could even learn the intro solo licks if u wanted, it's transcribed for standard notation. Have fun!!
Quist thank you so much
Hello Quist, I' clik in the link above and I´ pay a patronate quote 2€ The Downloader, but i can't download any TAB. Probably I'm wrong. Can you help me, please? I want this TAB only. Thank´s
Your wonderful tracks have made the transition into Jazz soloing much smoother than I anticipated, and you have my immense gratitude.
Great to hear!!!

these tracks are so fun to play with! also it is awesome to watch over the solos you do over the beats! keep it up.
+Sheridan Wrz thank you - have fun!!
im a begginer on piano, and since a 2-5-1 is easy too keep up with in the left hand, this made a great solo track.

QuistTV How are you getting this sound on a Stratocaster? Are you using an effects pedal? It sounds great!
Thanks Justin! No pedals - the trick is rolling most of the tone off on your guitar (using the neck pickup).. and then also playing with a fairly soft (right hand) attack. That's all!
QuistTV: Thanks for the info! Are those noiseless pickups or stock?
thanks a lo, great stuff to find
