Most Awesome Guitar Backing Track – How Many Songs Hidden in This Chord Pattern?

Key of C – 66 bpm It’s a Big Rock Ballad Backing Track. Which Big Rock Ballad? All of ‘em! (Well, an awful lot of them). Jam along with this one and you’ll be reminded of some of the most famous songs of all time as you improvise, which will surely influence your lead playing. Let your fingers discover and rediscover some famous and familiar licks from some of the great tracks of the past, and find new uses and contexts for them. What do we have? Well, we’re in the Key of C, and we have the famous One -Five - Six - Four Chord sequence, sometimes known as the Axis of Awesome progression, which has been used in countless records including many rock and ballad classics. What I have added here is the “next line”, which moves between the One and Five chords to add continuity and sometimes closure to the musical phrases, verses or choruses. It will sound very familiar to you, and just “feel right” as you play along. Examples of this famous chord sequence, sometimes with slightly different variations (yes, variations on the variations!), include The Beatles (Let it Be), Bob Marley (No Woman, No Cry), Journey (Don’t Stop Believin’), John Denver (Take Me Home, Country Roads) and you can find many, many more. Lots of scope here to practice different styles and ideas – not least to find the melodies to some of those famous songs and pick them out over the progression – doesn’t matter if you’re not in the original key, you’ll gain experience in transposing. A great opportunity to practice using you chord tones/triads/arpeggio shapes for rhythm as well as lead playing. For your solos, the major scale will be good here, as will the major pentatonic, and the minor pentatonic will give you some great sour spicy tones too. Try mixing the major and minor pentatonics, chord tones and throw in some “Country Sixth” double stops for good measure as well.
