I have put together some blues backing tracks that you can use to practice with. They are mostly just simple blues backing tracks. I only have a few so far, but I am working creating more. Some of these I did not create myself. If you use one of these backing tracks and record something with it, let me know - it would be fun for me to hear you play over them! For commercial use, you must get my written permission for the songs I wrote.

I recorded some of these tracks with Cubase SX2, using my Vox AD50VT and my Squier '51 or Squier Tele. Nowadays, I use GarageBand and Ez Drummer for my recording. The sounds were created using Line 6 Toneport and Pod Farm, or else miking any of my guitar amps. Some compression and delay were added after recording.

Country Backing Tracks

I have a few country backing tracks as well.
