Blues Improvisation With Guitar Backing Tracks
Did it ever dawn upon you that that practicing your blues guitar skills calls for playing with a real professional band? Particularly before you can move on to the next level of your technical expertise.
Seriously speaking, not every player has professional band lying around that they can visit up and say, “OK, I’m ready to practice now.” Does anybody? Even professional jam sessions must be planned and coordinated and normally is only once a week. So, how on earth are you suppose to get prepped forthe real world?
Any better-known guitar player will tell you that the best way to learn, is to practice, practice, practice! That’s why you should try looking into purchasing blues jam tracks. Often times you will find that the blues jam tracks you’ll run into are made of cheap midi instruments that isn’t authentic and it sounds like a miserable video game from the seventies! Make sure you do your preparation and select the right CD to rehearse along with. It should have real instruments along with a real professional band.
You also want it to have a large variety of tempos and styles. You’ll want it to have a shuffle, a fast blues, a slow blues, etc. and it is fundamental that the instrumentalists on the CD are in tune and stay in time (tempo). I acknowledge that seems pretty elementary but you would be stunned how many people will put up with cheesy midi blues jam tracks that they try to download…and it comes out sorry! Spare yourself the bother and get professional blues backing tracks from 50Blues
All I know is that ever since I set out playing along with blues jam tracks I have improved my guitar playing significantly. Getting the power to control a professional blues band with the click of a mouse and a play button was incredible. It makes it much easier to improvise and create new licks and riff. I would recommend this method of learning to every blues guitarist or musician out there.
