[B759]Blues Guitar Backing Tracks

by John Rivers, Joh

I have been an aspiring blues musician for several years now. Actually let me rephrase that. I have been a frustrated aspiring blues musicians for several years. We all know that if you want to become really good at something then you need to practice and practice and more practice.
Playing blues solos on your own is no problem. I mean you can just pick up your guitar and go for it whenever the mood dictates. The problem is most musicians particularly blues enjoys the interaction with a blues band. Very few musicians have the luxury of having such a band to jam with on a consistent basis. This is where a discovery I made relating to a product that will give you the opportunity to practice whenever you want with a full backup. This comes from 50Blues. They provide the tracks for you to practice with.
What I Liked About It:
Not only do they give you 50 backing tracks they also give you the improvisation lessons to go with it. The other major issue is the author of all this material has very sound credentials. This happens to be Zack Roberts ,who is a Professional Guitarist with many years experience. He is a well known instructor, and also happens to have his own professional recording studio. Needless to say with the type of expertise that Zack has it makes anything that he has to offer by way of advice or instruction valuable material.
The bonuses alone that are being offered with this package are sensational. There is very little doubt that anyone purchasing this package will not benefit a great deal from it. The very idea of being able to play the tracks when I had the time, and get the practice I was finally going to get, was a real inspiration to my getting this program.
What I didn't like About It:
There was so much material in the advertisement, and what was being offered I was thinking that perhaps it was just a little too advanced for me. I mean all of the samples I was listening to, just sounded like it was a too high of a professional level. I mean here I am just an amateur that has a lot of dreams, like any musician. Then I finally realized that the samples I was listening to where from people that had already taken advantage of Zack's offer. People like myself. I realized then that there really wasn't anything that I didn't like about what Zack had to offer.
Conclusion
My first inclination was thinking that I was probably going to have to do a lot of overtime at my job to pay for Zack's program. When I got down to the price he was asking I figured there had to be a typing error. I had expect a price of at least $100 and above. After checking it out a lot closer I realized it was no mistake. Zack was letting this offer go at an amazing price, and I wasn't going to miss out on it.

I have been looking for good blues backing tracks for the longest time.

Finally, I have found the ones that I know will better my guitar playing tenfold. I can't believe how great the sound quality really is, I feel like I'm actually jamming with a professional blues backing band.

So what makes a blues lick remarkable?

It is not the riff, nor is it the tone. Experienced blues players know that one of the secrets of great tone isn't just the sound of an amp, but the feel.

In its simplest form its all about having a great backing to bring out the best in a blues lick.

If you're sick of wasting money on expensive guitar lessons, felt frustrated with playing the same lick over and over again, you might just find guitar backing tracks very useful.

Normally you gain a bunch of corny MIDI tracks which are just fake digital instrument sounds that are worse than television game sounds from the 70s!

50Blues has an amazing deal where you get 50 blues backing tracks that are Instantaneously download-able after you buy them. There is also an option to purchase the 2 CDs instead.

Practice your improvisations and composition skills over a selection of 50 different blues based jamming tracks in different keys and tempo.

Not only can these be used for improving your guitar playing but also the harmonica and harp.

The blues has influenced many other genres of music, such as rock and roll, jazz and popular music of today so uncover the #1 proven method of improving your blues playing.

They have everything from slow blues ballads, shuffles, fast, funk, jazzy blues and much much more. Now, with a click of a play button I can practice my guitar riffs and licks over a professional band that remains in tempo and knows how to back up a lead guitarist.

Any real blues musician will tell you that practice is what makes the difference. That is hands on practicing with a real blues backing band. Of course playing live is always the best because you can practice performing in front of people as well as playing along with the band.

But with blues backing tracks from 50Blues you are THAT MUCH CLOSER to the real deal. My lead guitar playing has already improved by at least DOUBLE since I have been playing along with these backing tracks. I've enjoy practicing so much with these tracks.

If you are just starting out with blues guitar or if you are looking to improve your existing soloing skills I highly recommend this product to you. I give it two thumbs up and 5 stars!

The only bad thing about it is that you can't practice in front of people like you can when playing with a real live professional band at a club or event or gig.

But hey...this is the next best thing and you might like it better being able to practice on your own before unleashing your skills to the rest of the world!
