Question:
Looking for some good quality mp3 or midi backing tracks for the blues. If there is a resource on the net please point me in the right direction. Thanks
Response:
I found many by using Google search. Type in "Midi jam trax", and stuff like that. Use the quotation marks for the exact phrase.

My son is in a band. The drummer just up and left everyone. I am trying to find free mp3 backing tracks that have drums for popular rock songs. Zeppelin, Who, Sknyrd, classic rock stuff. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks Frankie Ballbags

Hi, Not sure about mp3 tracks, but it is quite easy to make any backing tracks from midi files, they dont sound quite as good but it is so easy to get any song. Just download the midi, a simple search in google for something like free bird midi and you’ll find many. Then use a program like ‘Music Masterworks’ or some other midi file editor. Just open the midi, you will find all the tracks in the midi listed, like guitar 1, voice, bass etc. Just delete all the tracks from the midi except the drum track(s). Hit save and you now have a midi drum track for that song. The good thing with this is you can delete everything except for the drum and bass tracks, for anyone who just wants to play over a backing track by themselves. Quite often I just hit play on the cd and play along, but the odd songs like Metallica’s Sad but True, which is tunned down a step, are annoying. Using the midi backing tracks you can automatically transpose the bass up a step, giving you that song in standard tuning, good when you want to practice a song without retuning your whole guitar. Aye, Jon.
