Whether you are practicing rhythm along with a backing track, perfecting your guitar solo, or expanding your improvisation skills over a jam track, you will find it a true joy and it’s SO good for your guitar playing.

Practicing with jam and backing tracks develops and enhances your rhythm, feel and timing for music and your ability to lock into the groove of the drum and bass, which is an imperative skill for any musician.

When you study a lead guitar solo it’s good to play along with the track without actually hearing the original notes of the solo and learn to fill in your solo between the spaces while keeping up with the right tempo, timing and feel of the song.

It’s the perfect way to practice what it’s like to play with a real band and what that requires from your playing. You have to learn and memorize songs, practicing them over and over until you get it right from beginning to end, until you feel comfortable enough to play it in front of an audience.

If you want to get good at soloing & improvisation, jam tracks are the best tools to exercise, drill, explore and train yourself for the challenge of playing over chord progressions. It’s a must-do.

So today, we got some great hiqh quality sounding jam & backing tracks for every kind of musical style and purpose. 

Now you know what to do. Set aside a part of your daily workout to practice with jam & backing tracks and watch your playing improve and unfold.

Enjoy!

    Klaus: I have enjoyed your e-mails for a few years now. Can I make a donation to your cause? If so where?

    Thanks for this info!

    I would like to add a youtube channel, (not mine) called ‘Elevated Jamtracks’.

    Very nice professional creative and superb sounding backing tracks in lots of styles!

    Regards Bjorn

    Good list. I like that comment which says add ‘Elevated Jam Tracks’. Those tracks are made with Logic in less than an hour, fake bass which badly resonates, no idea what mix and master is, one or maximum two guitars played and looped. Just some presets. ‘Elevated’. Lol. A guy who doesn’t even show his face. They’re just a little better than a midi file. With a progessional Korg keyboard in 10 minutes you make better tracks.

    There’s a lot of confusion here.

    I sometimes follow Chuss, Quist, Nick Neblo, Tom Bailey and some other channels which make music and sound genuine.

    Here is another one to potentially add to the list: https://www.youtube.com/soundwitchbackingtracks

    The videos emphasize modal progessions in different styles, tempos, and keys. They also have tracks for bass players, drummers, and just bass and drums. I dig on the bass and drum tracks to experiment with chord voicings and trying to create horn parts.

    Thank you for finding and sharing such great resources!
