Eric Clapton style Blues Guitar Backing Track Jam in B minor

Описание: Welcome to The Jam Station and our Blues Rock Guitar backing track in the style of Eric Clapton for guitarists to jam with in Bm. Start with the Bm pentatonic or B Blues scale to improvise and solo in the style of old Slowhand himself, Blues legend EC. Give it a go, comment with your questions or feedback, and here are a few ideas if you want to take your soloing that step further and embrace some advanced Blues and chord tones.

The jam track is inspired by Clapton's famous slow Blues, 'Old Love' taken from his 1989 Journeyman album and is a great progression to solo over if you want to work on your Blues lead playing outside of a standard 12 bar progression as so many Blues greats have done. SRV, Jeff Beck, B.B. King, Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page are just a few guitar heroes who have added touches of sophistication to their playing by going beyond the standard Blues scale and I-IV-V chords. So if a slow blues backing track is what you're searching for - you;ve come to the right place!

The main verse follows a Im-IVm-bVII sequence diatonic to Bm (relative minor key of D major) so your Bm pentatonic, B Blues and B Natural Minor scales will work well here. There's very little to trip you up!
When the 'chorus' part comes in, things get a little spicier which can make navigating this part much more fun and interesting! We open with a G major chord (bVI in Bm) and this moves to an F#7 (V7 chord). However the major 3rd (A#) of F#7 is outside of the key of Bm meaning you can really focus on that A# for target note practice. If you prefer to think in terms of scales, you can switch to the B Harmonic Minor for the F#7 chord as this contains the 'A#' rather than the 'A natural' you'd find in Bm pentatonic.

There is also a really interesting run where we move through the following four chords:
Bm - BmMaj7 - Bm7 - E9 - which contains a classic descending chromatic line running through the progression, as you'll have heard countless times in Rock staples such as 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Something' by The Beatles. Target this line as I've done in the tabbed solo to really nail down this part of the sequence and add a touch of class and sophistication to your solos!

Either way remember that if all else fails your B Blues scale will always sound great and throughout the progression you can see what chords you're playing over using the moving chord chart so you shouldn't get lost! At the end of the video you'll find Arron's example Blues Rock solo to give you further ideas with licks that you could play over this progression. The full tab is available as a free download from Patreon, though membership is currently only $1 a month for new members - come grab it while you can!
