Backing tracks

[alex1fly]

Bros, I'd really like to get hold of some backing tracks. All styles preferably, but I really want to improve my blues/jam style. I have a drum machine that I jam along to, which is great, but I want to work on my melodic sensibility. Any suggestions? Free tracks would be great, but I'm willing to pay. Thanks in advance!

Alex

Any chance of getting with other musicians in your area for some informal jamming? It helped me a bunch. Until I moved to Texas I pretty just played alone in my house, but hanging out at "open mic nights" and, through those jams, finding people to jam with privately really challenged my playing like no other situation.

Re: Backing tracks

Yeah, my ex-neighbor plays a style like me and he's pretty good, so we've planned on jamming. The thing is though, I just moved cross-country, and I'm kind of anti-social anyways. But I know what you mean about jamming with people challenging one's playing; my best soloing has come out of impromtu jams of Free Bird and that one Candlebox hit song "ma-ya-ya-yabey, left you far behind..."

But surely Portland, OR has some musicians that like to jam and rock and aren't only into stupid indie rock. Seriously, its like the local indie bands here pride themselves on sounding "amateur."
