Good quality backing tracks can turn your practice sessions into full blown jams, and really give you the freedom to expand your playing… and have more fun doing it. If you’re like I am, you may be frustrated with playing the same boring riffs and licks.
But every time I fire up a backing track, it feels like I’m playing with the band again… except it doesn’t smell as bad
The question I get asked alot… Is it any good?
I can say from experience that this package is legit.
I ran across this product 7 months ago, and I’ve been really happy that I decided to buy it. This was created a few years ago by Zack Roberts, a professional guitarist from New Jersey (home of Bruce Springsteen & Bon Jovi). Not midi programmed lameness here, these tracks were cut by the finest seasoned blues musicians around.
I won’t dive into too much detail because it seems like every time I check Zack has added a new bonus, so you can take a look for yourself.
There’s a lot of diversity among this collection, too. It dives into:
12 Bar Blues Grooves
Blues Slow Ballads
Jazzy Blues Shuffles
Cajun Blues
Blues In G Pentatonic, and many other scales
Zack has a Bachelor Degree from Berklee College of Music, and has been a regular contributor to Guitar Player, Guitar World and Acoustic Guitar Magazines, so he put this together with the idea of improving your playing. A funny thing happens, too, when you play more and more over these tracks. Your chops just naturally get stronger, and then when it comes time to play onstage, watch out! It will feel like you’ve been practicing with the band every day, and your playing will show it.
What I like about 50 Blues is the variey, quality, and very solid musical sound of the entire package. Zack has gone above and beyond to make sure you feel like you’re playing in the same room with a top notch blues band.
These tracks are very professionally played, mixed, and recorded, unlike the shoddy quality of some free backing tracks you find.
I’ve been very happy with these backing tracks for guitar, and so have My Guitar Guide readers. They’ve actually given it nearly 4 stars out of 5. I really hope that you can get a lot of use out of these tracks too, and I highly recommend you tale a look at this product
