Backing tracks created with Band-in-a-Box

01 A Lydian b7 Improv

I used Band-in-a-Box to create the play-along.  I thought I'd try a jazz fusion rhythm with the Locrian sound.

02 C Locrian Improv

Played against a Bbmaj7 new-age jazz style play-along.

Play-along is a standard Ebm swing style that I commonly use when practicing jazz standards.

Used a standard swing play-along over an F7alt chord.  This was (and still is) the hardest scale for me to get my ears around.

As an added challenge for myself, I played the chords, then added the head and solo on separate tracks.

For an extra challenge, I played rhythm guitar on a separate track.  For the solo, I tried to focus on the Guide Tones with minimal embellishment.
