Looking for the download of this track?

I’ve been given permission to stream this track by the creator but for obvious reasons I can’t offer it to download.

However, I strongly recommend purchasing Elevated Backing Tracks Album.

It’s incredible value at only £19.99 for 317 tracks. All of the tracks are exceptional quality and have all the keys, moods and styles you’ll ever need to jam with.

Main Points From The Lesson Above:

Another “Essential Scale”. The Natural Minor Scale (or sometimes referred to as the minor scale) has a moody feel. Like the last 2 lessons we’ll be learning it’s formual, boxed pattern and how to break out of the box with octaves.

It’s essential that you download the 2 worksheets above to understand this lesson on the natural minor scale formula and playing it with octaves.

Once you understand that all scales are made up of a formula of notes you can start to play them anywhere on the neck.

 

TIP 1 = Learn the boxed position off by heart first. That way you’ve always got a go to set of notes that sound great over the track.

TIP 2 = This backing track is slow and sounds great with bends. Watch the video to learn more.

TIP 3 = By all means play the natural minor scale on 1 string first. This is great way to come up with melodies.
