My tip for anyone wanting to really jam to this- first figure out how to play this track perfectly- right along with them. Knowing what chords are being played at any given time really allows you to tighten up your lead and make sure it all truly fits the track. Second- no noodling, stop noodling- stop it! LOL- I do it too man, we all do- but it must stop- no noodling! Find a melody- explore it, twist it, turn it, flip it- but stick with it until you feel you've explored it completely- then maybe start developing another idea- but don't noodle. I promise if you do just these two things- your soloing will improve massively- mine did. For beginners- think in short 3-5 note phrases. Don't try to build long legato lines that go on forever- I mean if you can, have at it but- most of us can't do that at first. So- build little short licks that end on the note of whatever chord is being played- if he's in D then your lick should resolve (end) on D. When you do this right, you'll feel it- it's like a piece of a puzzle clicking into place- it just sounds "right". Now does every lick have to end this way- no, not at all- but it's a good place to start- and generally speaking if you don't resolve to that note then it's because the lick is still expanding, it's not ready to resolve (end) yet. So, the longer the lick, the longer it takes before you resolve back to the note which brings it home and ties it to the track. This takes a sense of timing- and that's why I tell you to learn to play the backing track. That allows you to know the timing intimately and know what chords are played when- which allows you to build your licks properly.

I jam with this track not with guitar but with harmonica

thank you for your kind work.Makes me,63 year old blues beginner , very happy.

I hadn't played bass in weeks, and then my brother asked me if I had been playing which I said no, and then I realized I needed to play so here I am. A thrilling tale.

That was probably the best blues jam session I've ever had so many ideas in my head they flowed so perfect had so much fun with this!!!!

Awesome "Thrill Is Gone" style jam track! I like it's dynamics and smooth feel, altered chords in the turn around give it a nice diminished jazzy touch.

This is the fists time I’ve sat with a backing track on n played to and it was class man 👌🏼thanks for putting it together it’s been a proper wee light bulb moment for me .Guitar just makes me happy

I legit just put this on loop and pulled lead for at least a solid 2 and a half, 3 hours. This rythm touched my soul bro. This shit had me all the way in.....I appreciate you for this

This was the first backing track I ever played on. I keep coming back to see how far I’ve gotten every few months. Super simple and patient chord progression so it’s very easy to just go off and do your own things with. I heavily recommend this track for beginners

So, I just got a new Les Paul and started jamming to this track. A few things: First of all, this track is amazing and very fun to play to. Thank you for making this. Second, with the sound of this backing track and my amp and guitar dialed in perfectly along with it, I felt like Stevie Ray Vaughan with how great everything sounded. I've been lacking something in my guitar-playing journey, and I believe playing along to tracks like this has helped me stay motivated as a guitarist and has helped me expand my musical vocabulary.

love that Bm7flat5/e7aug variation/turnaround

Just started improv 2 weeks ago after 11 years of playing guitar, I practic scales 20 minutes and then jam for an hour and I love the feeling when the melody you have in head comes true. Still have everything to learn, but I'm having a great time on your backing tracks (I enjoy it a lot more than just reproducing tabs aha). Keep it up brother !

I'm learning my pentatonic on this. Love it, thanks so much for sharing.

Your backing tracks will help me blues my way through self isolation

Love this groove, I think of BB King's "The thrill is gone"

I cant thank you enough for all your amazing backing tracks. You make me a better musician. peace

Hey Tom! Great track! I know these things focus mostly on lead playing, but how about you add the chord shapes you use from now on (and maybe even a few more voicings if you feel like it) for us to also work on our rhythm shtuff? That would be awesome!

Absolutely brilliant! Everything is perfect in these jam tracks. Thanks a lot!

I could listen to this for hours.

I have learned a lot practicing with backing tracks.i am 59.back in the day if you were not good enough to be first guitar in a band just forget it.since I could not afford a loop station for very long time,not a lot of practice.now just turn on the PC OR CELL PHONE AND VOILA.I AM JAMMING.THANKS BROTHER.

Hey man I really enjoy your jams buddy... And you're an awesome guitar player to boot with great tone. Thanks heaps

Thank you for this brilliant track. I've come up with more combinations for solos with this track than I've done with any other backing track. As they say on Wall Street when someone hits it big: Way to go!!!

I love playing to this track! Thank you for providing it for all of us.🤘

this back in track unleashed my inner satriani

one of the best blues backing tracks out there

Wow ! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful track. I can’t stop jamming with it.

Nice one ~ great for phrasing and expression! I LOVE how you don't solo over it like so many do lately! 👍

Fantastic! I had a blast with this. Perfect.

This is a stand alone track ... no need for anything else !

Absolutely great...! I played Alex Acunas song Psalms (featuring Carlos Santana) melody with this and for a while, I think I actually can play...

This is a great recording , thanks for sharing. It goes along to the songs I'm composing and writing. Thank you for Getting it in your heart and soul for hearing it. Have a great day. Tony Seago

Outstanding track and the chord list and reference is huge. Thanks so much man. Great inspiration

Fantastic, thank you, what a fine groove. Just doing it ...

Just had such a good time with this. Testing my new silver sky se tones. Didn't want it to stop. Could go one for 20, 30 minutes more. Thanks for this. Amazing.

Great ... just pure and simple ... great !!!

Love the new production value in the intro!

Seriously my favorite jam track ever!

Absolutely awesome track mate. I shall shred on this till me fingers fall off!!!

Every time I practice, I close my eyes and pick a backing track at random to try and improvise to while finding the key, and tonight it was this track! My ear picks out Am pretty well, it seems

I think this is the song that keeps playing inside of me as I work all my life..... little does people know I got a built-in music box

Sounds great! I'm gonna jam to this with my Hohner Am pentatonic harp. HEADS UP HARMONICA PLAYERS

i love it! Thanks for your great work!

Ooh, third on a G harp is soooooooo good with this.

Really enjoyed noodling along to this. Thanks!

bro you are FABULOUS. Thank You !!!!!

Thanks, I had a fantastic morning jam on this track,, Let's hear it for the band everyone :)

Good one. Played my National Resophone with yaz.

What a fantastic track to practice along to, thanks so much!!

Just had my first acoustic guitar lesson this evening. Started with THE BLUES BOX when starting to play lead guitar. My teacher makes a backing track available in class; however, I love your piece better. Thanks!

Nice tracks dude. Really easy to play over, and nice progressions.

I love a great blues track to jam to! Great choice of using A Aeolian

Those little hammer on's are awesome, I need to practice those to get to that level.

I can imagine SRV just growlin along with this . But it would suit BB a little more.

Reminds me of Boz Scaggs loan me a dime. Helps a lot with some Duane Allman stuff.

I wish I could see the chord diagram as each chord changes! More backing track videos need those!!
