I'm sure most have discovered these backing tracks and videos. Without a doubt these videos have educated my playing 1000%. I haven't learned much if any music theory. But learning the different scale modes, using these videos and backing tracks, I believe I've inadvertently learned what I wished I knew as a younger player. I've always learned by ear and really only memorized two or three pentatonic positions on the neck. I would get stuck if the scale was in a major mode. I grew up in the 70s & 80s, and most of the music I liked (80's metal) is in a minor scale. I could wail away within my boxes.
After practicing to Elevation Jam Tracks on YouTube, I can confidently say I can play in almost any scale and do it in multiple positions. I'd recommend to any guitarist that is 'learning' to use this awesome resource. The songs are great and having the scale up on the screen forces you to learn from repetition and experience. And playing a minor scale in the major position creates new phrasing that I wouldn't normally choose.
Love it!
