Country Backing Track Train Beat – Here, music students can improvise on one of the most popular styles of American music.

Country music has several branches, ranging from romantic ballads to lively dance songs. Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Shania Twain, Alan Jackson and Kenny Rogers are some of the main names in this style.

In this track, we use the same harmonic progression present in the song “Always On My Mind”, composed by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher and Mark James and immortalized by Elvis Presley and Willie Nelson. It also gained a synth-pop version by the Pet Shop Boys.

It is possible to improvise on this track using only the C Major scale, however, there are 2 modal borrowed chords (D7 and C7) in which students can use their creativity and add other notes of tension. It will be a lot of fun!
