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! More Backing TracksThe backing tracks in this section are one track per page due to the additional information and suggestions for you to think about when jamming with the track. I'm starting to go through each of the tracks from the pages above and expanding on the suggestions, adding theory, tab, chords, scales and anything else I can think of that I'm putting up with the track. Jam on people!
Guitar Lessons for BeginnersIf you want to play along with the jam tracks but don't know how to start then these lessons are for you. I'm starting with lessons aimed at the absolute beginner guitar player but there is lot's of theory and ideas in there for all musicians, no matter what instrument you play. If you are looking for more advanced music theory then you should check out the Modes, Pentatonic and Blues Scales page. As you read through any of the lessons below you should start applying the ideas by playing along with the backing tracks from the Play Guitar pages: Play Guitar Blues 01, Play Guitar Blues 02, ... Play Guitar Rock 01 etc. The more you jam, with the backing track or with other musicians, the better you'll become.
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
Gregory Hines and Stanley ClarkeThis is a live performance from Gregory Hines did with Stanley Clarke on the Arseneo Hall show in 1993. They recorded two tracks for Stanley Clarke's solo album 'If This Bass Could Only Talk'. The intro track is the album title and the last track on the record is 'Basically Taps'. So they are just two pieces of music of Stanley Clarke playing bass and Gregory Hines doing what he does best. Too cool for school! Stevie Ray Vaughan - Rude MoodRude Mood is a great guitar boogie from Stevie Ray Vaughan's first album Texas Flood. Steive borrowed the riff from Lightnin' Hopkins song 'Lightnin's Skyhop' and made it into his own powerhouse guitar instrumental. In his MTV Unplugged performance Stevie Ray Vaughan played Rude Mood on a 12 string guitar. Eat your heart out!
Lightnin' Hopkins - Mojo HandLightnin' Hopkins was one of the best blues guitar players to ever come out of Texas. He played amazing blues guitar that grooved like no-one else.
Eric Johnson - Guitar Finger TechniqueThis video clip is from Eric Johnson's Total Electric Guitar, hotlicks instructional dvd. No matter what style of music you play, this is one of the all time best instructional dvd's for guitar players recorded. Lot's of great licks but more so than anything because of the techniques Eric explains.

FTJ Shenanigans: Music Videos 01 Past Chord ShapesIt's fair to say that we don't actually put up a new chord shape every single week. This is because we have no concept of time! Band Merchandise Below are links to band merchandise for some of my favorite bands. They have a lot of cool items for sale and the prices are reasonable. It's not just t-shirts, stickers and posters - there are guitar picks and some other things on there as well. Most of the designs and prints they have are really cool.
