These jam tracks are designed for intermediate to advanced players who have a basic understanding of scales, chords, and improvisation. However, we've included tracks across various difficulty levels, so even beginners with some experience can benefit from the slower, simpler tracks.
We recommend incorporating these tracks into your regular practice routine, starting with styles you're most comfortable with. Begin by playing along with the suggested scales, then gradually experiment with your own ideas. Spend 15-20 minutes per session with a track, focusing on different aspects like rhythm, phrasing, or dynamics.
Yes! These tracks are licensed for personal use, including recording your own solos over them for practice, audition reels, or sharing on social media. The high-quality audio (24-bit, 48kHz) makes them perfect for recording your own guitar parts on top.
All you need is your guitar and a way to play the audio tracks. This could be as simple as your smartphone and headphones, or a more sophisticated setup with audio interface and studio monitors. The tracks work with any guitar and amp setup, though having some basic effects like overdrive for rock tracks and reverb for blues can enhance the experience.
These tracks are designed to bridge the gap between learning techniques and applying them in real musical contexts. They're the perfect companion to formal lessons, allowing you to practice what you've learned in a musical environment. Many teachers recommend backing tracks as an essential practice tool to develop your ear, timing, and musical instincts.
These tracks give you a wide array of styles from traditional blues to Nashville shuffle, intense blues rock to country styling.
