As a new bassist (wannabe) who is 62 years old, I loved this... I was able to keep up and sound like a nice amateur. Thanks! New sub here!

[@georgepesvianidze8995]

Glad I found this channel. I have a 3 month old that I recently discovered calma down when I sing in blues style. So I use these as a background key and I make up the rest. Makes her calm down and keeps her calm. Usually takes half a video of singing for her to go to sleep. Thank you and I'm subscribing.

[@brucecaldwell6701]

More than just helping her fall asleep. you're hopefully instilling in her an appreciation & love of music that will be with her for life. I did the same for my daughter.

Finally something with the drums playing 12/8!

[@Dogsrule777]

Playing along with these vids has been the most therapeutic escape. They’re so well done and smooth. ❤️🎧

As a BRAND NEW harp player, I enjoy playing around with this track!

[@JohnSmith-ey6gt]

Been playing all my life and love this for harmonica

[@allenhawker3911]

I just started with the harp 6 months ago. These back tracks are definitely fun to play along with! Hope your harmonica endeavors have been going well over the last several years! ✌🏻

[@allenhawker3911]

lol. I came across this three years after you. I’m a beginner harp player myself about a year in. This backing track is great to play along. I was using my C harp in second position ( cross). Lots of fun. Hope you’re still at the harp game? If so I imagine you’re quite good by now!

[@wmthompson2]

I searched for Blues in G backing track just to sing some song lyrics, I made up. Awesome.

[@HarpinJScott]

Ditto! Played my C harp and got greazy wit it. Had a blast!

[@southboundguitar]

Great backing track! Thanks for the upload! This is a great way to get some experience playing with a band....without playing with a band! Great learning tool AND therapist....rolled into one. You get to learn to play in time, keep up with changes, experiment with shapes/modes/keys....and you're building up your confidence, which is key to improvising well! Get out there & sling some dirt!!

[@sheldon740]

Teaching my son how to play, so glad I found you!

[@Porterstout]

hard to see white on white. Super fun to jam along to though. Its really helping me learn the notes on guitar.

[@Samson163]

These are not only great for guitars but harps as well 👍

[@CrueLoaf]

C Harps?

[@Samson163]

@@CrueLoaf yes. A rule of thumb to go by is whatever key the song or track is in, go up 4 from that key. If it's in G go to C, E go to A, B to E and so on. Hope that helps!

[@CrueLoaf]

@@Samson163 nice one. Thanks so much.

[@generay6807]

[@oneill180]

Totally new. So a G backing track calls for a C harmonica?

[@tyayres7964]

Yep, c harmonica works for g minor blues, it's great :)

[@aaronnaquin8255]

I mean you would be surprised how much works with g there’s like endless possibilities love music it’s so amazing

[@kc8923]

To play the blues yes. A G harmonica would play melodies in key of G.

[@hoobie11]

@@tyayres7964 It works but u cant hit the F note. So it doesnt

[@wakamiwailer]

So I have a question for all you folks who know what youre doing. I am total beginner but I can move up and down the minor pent ok. not real fast though. I get the thing about the songs key I think but what happens when the chords change? do I then go and play in the minor pentatonic where that chords root is? cuz it sounds ok if i don't but also sounds ok if i do. what should I be doing?

[@richardthomas4001]

The way i take it, if it sounds good it is. If it sounds bad it is.i stay in the key and use different positions on the neck. A lot of dongs sound good switching between major and minor , addds flavor. Keep pickin, you got to go out on a limb to learn and grow then get back smoothly. Make mistakes its ok thays what these tracks ate for. then when you play for people keep it a little more im your zone. You will get better faster playing out, than on your couch or bed. You got to do it enough so you can play. Very few people pick up a guitar and can wail in no time. Most of us have to work at it. Enjoy it, have fun. Build on it to get better. Thats all i got for now, thanks

[@imoldgregg4795]

You want to learn the chord tones for each chord you play over. Then you can target certain notes for each chord that comes up wtc

[@crah222]

You can play the entire I IV V on the first position

[@Jovisoinf]

Learn arpeggios too...

[@Rockstar69000]

Hey blues is a pattern mostly but not always the same obviously. You can hang on a few notes at first then add some new ones. I have guitar vids on my KZbin channel. Your question was good. Rock on !

[@robertb8673]

First time i blues on a yt backtrack. Works like a charm. 😊👍 Thank's man.

[@kurtmeister5431]

This is one of the best ones on here

[@80guitarguy82]

You can take a key centred approach, or a chord tone approach, or a combination of the two. Timing, touch and phrasing are most important.

[@MrSolfreeman2]

Practiced my walking baselines to this. Nice

[@TheGreatMoonFrog]

Love the organ. I feel like I can still comp my solo nicely with it when I want to and it sets a cool relaxed tone.

[@bnastali]

Super YES to this. Add some reverb AND WAIL!

[@NoirFan01]

Thanks for posting. Very helpful

[@martinsprenz2872]

This one is cool because there is no guitar in it. I hate backing tracks with mjch guitar sounds. They are not good for jamming with (another) guitar. But this one fits perfectly.

[@NazarKopak]

[@timwheeler2087]

Help, new guitar player here. How do I learn the changes? I feel like im surprised every time. How do I go from reactive to proactive chord changes???

[@archielewis5506]

Listen to the track a few times through and get a feel for the progression, the 12 bar blues should feel climatic and after a few listens it should click. The blues is a very emotionally driven genre after all! As a whole the BPM of a backing track shouldn’t make too much of a difference as each bar is the same length of time regardless of what chord is being played (in this instance G, C or D). Also a bit of theory in knowing the progression of the 12 bar blues will really help, in the key of G the basic 12 bar blues progression would look like this (each letter representing 1 bar of the chord): G G G G C C G G D C G D The last 2 bars of the 12 bar blues progression is known as the turnaround and lead back in to the beginning of the progression to start over again. This backing track is a slight variation on the basic 12 bar blues progression, the only difference with this backing track is rather than starting with 4 bars of the I chord (G) it swaps to the IV chord (C) after the first bar before going back to the I chord for a further 2 bars. The backing track then follows the usual 12 bar blues progression until the final 2 bars where rather than playing 1 bar of the I chord (G) and 1 bar of the V chord (D) it plays 1 and a half bars of G and half a bar of D before repeating. Written down the progression would look like this: G C G G C C G G D C G G/D Hope this helps! 😊

Most of those backing tracks with “a guy playing” is the guy who created the full backing track himself so maybe let him show off his skills for you for a little bit after all, he created the full backing track so u have the convenience of playing to if
