Guitar Jam Tracks

Improved Timing

Music requires good rhythm and timing, that's why you should use tools that help you learn to play in time. Of course the trusty metronome is a great way to do this, but jam tracks give you a more varied sound than a few metronome clicks and they are more fun.

Better Note Choice

Bad notes can often go unnoticed when you play by yourself. But you will notice them easily against the chord backdrop laid down by the backing band, especially if you record yourself.

Improved Listening Skills

Regular practice with a backing band will do a lot for your listening skills. Your ability to fit in well with a band depends a lot on your ability to listen and react to what they're playing. You can learn to hear the changes of a 12 bar blues progression, for example, and know where you are without relying on counting the bars.

Ready When You Are

Organizing rehearsals with a real band can be a complex and time consuming affair. A jam track band, however, is ready to play whenever and wherever you want. The other great thing is, you don't have to flatter them or provide cold beers to get them to practice at your house.

The jam track band will also be very patient when you want to practice your latest solo for the 15th time of the evening. Unless you play with your mum, nobody else is going to be this patient (and I'm not even sure about your Mum).

Fun

Playing songs with a full backing band is a lot more fun than scratching out the guitar parts alone. Your favourite songs probably involve several instruments and often more than one guitar. Let's face it, when they're played on a lone guitar by the average picker they just don't sound the same.

Pop on a jam track and you can recreate a much richer sound giving you more fun playing the music you love. Whether it's for practice or for a concert to impress your friends guitar jam tracks make you sound better.
