Free backing tracks to practice improvisation

There’s nothing like the feeling of improvising a solo, whether it’s with live musicians or to backing tracks.

All you need are a few scales under your belt and you’re away.

These free backing tracks loop for half an hour, so you won’t be forced to stop just when you’re getting in the zone.

We used YouTube so they work on mobiles, tablets and desktops enabling you to jam no matter where you are.

Lastly, we’ve listed the key of each track in the title of the video to make things super easy and provided notes on how to position basic scales on guitar to help beginners of that instrument.
