Backing Tracks

Blues backing tracks are an essential tool when learning to play or practising your blues guitar skills. If you have a wide variety of tracks in various keys, tempos and styles you'll have the benefit of becoming proficient in many different musical situations. For example, up tempo rock n' roll style blues involves very different techniques and licks than playing a slow traditional blues.

The best way to practise with backing tracks is to queue up around 5 or more tracks and repeat them over and over. Before long you'll have had a 30 minute practice session without even realising it. Aside from playing with a real live band, there really is nothing more fun than jamming with backing tracks, especially if they were recorded using a live band.

So how do you get the most out them? Simply learn 4 or 5 blues licks and spend some time jamming. Explore each and every lick over every part of the track. Then try blending in a few of your own ideas. It's easy to take an existing phrase and turn it into your own creation. Simply try removing a note or two, maybe fuse 2 different licks together, add a note, even letting a note ring out for a little longer can drastically change the sound.

If you try experimenting with a few new licks every week before long you'll have a huge library of sounds you can turn to when jamming with your blues backing tracks. What's more it'll always keep your practice sessions fresh, you'll never get bored again!
