Major/Minor ii v i playalongs

[WG Plum]

Can anyone suggest a good YT vid or vids that have bassless tracks that show the chords in all keys?

I've found a few but I'd like to find some that are a little more fun than cocktail jazz.

Thanks!

I found a bit of a cool thing to do, I run my ipod into an eq pedal, drop out the bass, and then into my amp. This way I can play along with anything. Some things the bass is still there, Ron Carter's band he is always very high in the mix, but for a lot of stuff it really cuts out the bass. Hope this helps.

I'd check Aebersold 3: II/V/I progression. There's major and minor and more, in many if not all keys.

Checking the sound samples, it seems like the bass is pretty prominent?

iRealPro app is worth the $16.

If I remember correctly, on Aebersold tracks the bass is on one channel, while piano and drums are on the other channel. So you can pan the bass out.

Then purchase it through the Google Play store.

There's also a desktop version for Mac and Windows that's pretty nice.

I use it on my Samsung S9, totally an Android compatible app.

Quist does some fun and free backing tracks for bass players: https://www.youtube.com/@QuistJam/search?query=bass

I use iReal Pro for this, but recently also discovered Session band. And as said Aebersold is also a possibillity.

It's from 60s I think. Split stereo. In one channel, there's piano and drums. In other channel, there's bass and drums. You adjust what you want to hear by balance knob on your hifi. Today, you can easily make it in software like Audacity of course.

Good thing about this book (as well as about 100 other similar books from Jamie Aebersold) is that it's played by real and very good players, and that there's a book to accompany the playalongs, with some very good info.

This is just one song but it is mostly all ii-V-I (only major) in different keys. Been practicing to this quite a bit, especially since it was one of the songs in Scott's Bass Lessons jazz accelerator course (which is great and he has backing tracks there, too).

It’s channeled so 1 side has drums & piano the other has drums & bass. I use a splitter from my cd player into the ‘mix in’ input on my amp. And that is great book btw.
