Free Jam Tracks and Backing TracksDownload free jam tracks and backing tracks and play guitar, bass or drums. Free Jam Tracks is a website dedicated to providing play-along music to help musicians learn to play guitar, bass and drums. The backing tracks are music minus one and have been broken up for each instrument into 7 styles: country, blues, funk, metal, jazz, reggae & rock. The guitar backing tracks mostly consist of rhythm guitar, bass and drums - so you can use them to play-along with guitar or any lead instrument. The bass backing tracks mainly consist of rhythm guitar and drums to allow bass players to groove with a band. The drum backing tracks consist of rhythm guitar and bass to give drummers music to play-along with without having to compete with any other drum sounds. Whether you are starting out or are a seasoned professional, our aim is to help you become a better musician. As well as the free music downloads, we also add licks, theory, lessons and have added links to articles on music and general concepts that we publish. More is being worked on and added to the site daily. ...nuff said, it's time to jam!

Bass Lessons for BeginnersBelow are 11 lessons for beginner bass guitar players. Lesson 01 starts with just playing the Root note and then each lesson builds on the last lesson so that you will be able to play some good/solid bass lines by the time you finish lesson 11. Each lesson comes with the bass lines played just with the drums and there is a backing track without bass that you can use to play along with for all 11 lessons. After you learn each lesson you can then use the bass lines to play along with the backing tracks from the Play Bass pages: Play Bass Blues 01, Play Bass Blues 02, ... Play Bass Rock 01 etc
Crossroads Guitar DuelThis has to be the greatest moment in cinema history. If you haven't seen the movie Crossroads you should go hire or buy it. The whole film is pretty cool but the guitar duel at the end of the movie (shown above) is too cool for school. Steve Vai is playing his parts and Ralph Macchio guitar parts were played by the great Ry Cooder. They had the awesome guitarist and music educator Arlen Roth on site when they made the film to help Ralph out with his guitar playing. Great movie with great playing all the way through it - go check it out.
Blues Guitar Lesson - The Land of A7This is a really good instructional clip put up by a really good guitar player and teacher. Great for electric and acoustic guitar players. Watch the entire clip and play through the shapes he shows you and you'll walk away being able to add some really nice color to a blues progression. Basically what he's doing is harmonizing the blues scale by playing notes that fit well with the A7 chord all up the neck. If you want to take this to the next level you should learn how to do the same thing using an E7 chord. Then you could plan an E blues using the concept with the E7 and A7 chords (the I and the IV chords). It's a little bit of work but will make you sound like a real pro. More importantly you'll enjoy your guitar playing a whole lot more than if you only know the basic shapes. Highly recommended.
