Guitar Backing Tracks

by

Welcome to the backing tracks section of GuitarOrb.com. Here we provide a range of backing tracks to help develop your soloing and improvisation.

These tracks have been provided by Jamplay from their backing track library and have been put together by leading guitarists such as David Wallimann, Kris Norris and Nick Kellie.

We’ve organised the tracks by the scales that can be used to solo over them:

These blues tracks are ideal for practicing your improvisation with the blues scale or the minor pentatonic scale. Additionally, as the Dorian mode is the bluesiest of the major scale modes, it will work over many of these tracks too.

Sample Blues Backing Track:

Here are tracks designed to develop your soloing with the Aeolian mode or the natural minor scale. Additionally, as the notes of the minor pentatonic scale are all notes of the Aeolian mode you can also use the minor pentatonic scale with these tracks.

Sample Aeolian Backing Track:

These tracks are formed from chord progressions based on the major scale and are the choice of tracks to practice your major scale improvisation.

Sample Major Scale Backing Track:

These backings are designed for use with the Dorian mode. A couple of the tracks in this section also involve changing the key of the Dorian scale you use during the solo. This provides a good introduction to changing scales through your improvisation.

Sample Dorian Mode Backing Track:

Here are the backing tracks to practice your Mixolydian soloing with.

Sample Mixolydian Mode Backing Track:

The tracks here allow you to explore other scales than those used above. This section uses metal and jazz tracks. There are tracks to develop your soloing with the Phrygian Mode, the Phrygian Dominant scale, the harmonic minor scale and the Lydian mode. There are also jazz tracks that involve much more complex changing of scales through the progression.
