2-5-1 (II-V-I) B major 180bpm :: FIVE MINUTE JAM Gypsy Jazz Backing Track @ChaStewFiddle

Uploaded March 2017 | Updated September 2026, 8 hours ago

Master improvising over the 2-5-1 (II-V-I) chord progression, the most common in jazz, by jamming along to this gypsy jazz style backing track. Once you are comfortable with improvising over this 2-5-1 sequence you are well on your way to being confident playing along to loads of your standard jazz favourites.

The chords in this 2-5-1 are C#m7 - F#7 - BMaj7.

These "trickier" keys for violin are included for completeness (and for other instruments) but it's worth having a crack at these on the fiddle to test your intonation and fingering. Have a go!

======================================================
ALL THESE TRACKS are available as digital downloads (in lots of different audio formats) from my BANDCAMP SITE at http://www.chastewviolinmusic.bandcamp.com. All free (but you can make a donation if you are feeling generous ;-)

Also, if you need these tracks at different tempos or in different keys, with more choruses etc., drop me a line at chastew2016@gmail.com and I can customise a track for you for a paltry $5 a track.
