🎼 TABS, SCALE MAPS + LESSONS 👉   / quistjam   Here's a head-bopping medium swing jazz practice backing track for improvising on the classic minor 2-5-1 progression - in C Minor.
Check out this awesome jazz guitar lesson by Matt Warnock, which features 5 cool Altered scale licks in Cm: http://goo.gl/BfvJM2
And here's a Jazz blues in A minor you can try out as well: https://goo.gl/WJGMcj Please SHARE... HAPPY JAMMING!

Chord progression:

II: Dmin7b5 I G7 I Cmin7 I Cmin7 :II

On the track, you will hear extensions of these chords - as is common in jazz of course :)


Scale suggestions:

C minor scale - C D Eb F G Ab Bb (C)

(Dmin7b5 chords and Cmin7 chords)

C harmonic minor scale - C D Eb F G Ab B (C)

(G7 chords)


Basic arpeggios:


Dmin7b5 arpeggio = D F Ab C

G7 arpeggio = G B D F

Cm7 arpeggio = C Eb G Bb


Next up, try out some more advanced colours on the dominant chord (G7) by treating it as an altered chord and using the altered scale:

G altered scale - G Ab Bb B Db Eb F (G)

The altered scale is the mode which starts on the 7th step of the melodic minor scale, so in other words - the 7 notes of the G altered scale are the same as those of the Ab melodic minor scale :)


Here's a minor 2-5-1 lick you can try transposing to C minor (just shift it down two frets)
