Pink Floyd Style Backing Track
Any questions - just ask
John’s notes;
This Backing track starts in a gentle, melancholy mood. You
can just play notes from the A minor/C Major scale but it
may become bland and boring after a while. It is much
better during your improvisation to now and again pick out
notes from the actual chords as they pass by. The most
important being the 3rd interval (or flat 3rd if over a minor
chord). Keep restrained, don’t be tempted to play lots of
meaningless notes, keep to playing nice melodic phrases
telling a story - your story. Others will have their own story
to tell listening to your notes. That’s the way it works with
instrumental music.
As a general note, if you are pleased with any phrases you
play write them down. TAB as much as you need as you
progress (literately write your composition - you are after all
creating and composing a tune).
