Hey Folks, welcome back to the channel. This next video is a short break from the live music offerings and is a very basic backing track in the key of B Minor. I have been incredibly busy and haven't had any time to break additional live music content out but hopefully will have some stuff for next week depending on how much time I can spare today.

For folks interested in jamming along, this one is basically just a minor blues in the key of B Minor. This one is one I actually wasn't sure I was even going to release, I feel it sounds a lot like my other tracks maybe just a little slower and I was going to can it but Mr. Romanelli liked it so I decided to share it with everyone. Hope you enjoy! Most of the instrumentation I did with the Godin Custom Session '59 Triple Play but I did get the new Akai MIDI Controller in the mix with the horns.

Creation Time: This one took about 3 hours total including video production time. I started this one a long time ago and back burnered it, started it/stopped it again several times and here we are.

What is my process: I usually start by trying to select a cool drum track and after that go from there. Usually, Bass lines go next, but it just depends on how I am feeling. Sometimes, I already have a melody in my head and just try to find a drum arrangement that suits it, but other times I just noodle and see where it goes (this was one of those times).

Why No Chorus/Middle8 on some of these jam tracks? Generally speaking, if I go to the trouble of going further than what is presented, its usually because I intend to make it a song for my own projects and that is often why I only present a basic melody or structure to get folks started with an idea... So, I hope you enjoy, and take it somewhere else, or rock out to it as presented, totally your choice....

As always, no humans or animals were harmed in the production of this jam track/video and no representation is being made in terms of material, it is not intended to represent any type of copyrighted work(s) and/or piece(s) of another artist, it's just an original jam track that I came up with and its aim is to please the people...

If anyone has the urge to rock out to a jam track that I have posted here and record it, I would love to see it and see where you go with the arrangement(s). Rock on!!!

If you would like to use this track for commercial or public usage purposes (rocking out to it for the purposes of a video for your channel is totally cool), please contact me to discuss licensing options.
