I got this backing track called "Highway Blues" on the website "Guitar Center's King of the Blues" some years ago. I recorded this tune shortly after I found the backing track. It's one of the best backing tracks I've ever heard!

Hakan,

I love your playing and I particularly like the Butterfield lessons you've been posting. But i just can't relate to getting so entusiastic over a pre-recorded back up track. You and others here on MBH talk about backup tracks the way a lot of musicians talk about drummers. I just don't understand how you guys can get so excited about canned music.....

Hi hvyj,

I can only speak for myself, but when I hear a great backing track I smell the possibilities to play along with that and create something based on that backing track. I feel good when I play with other musicians but a great backing track is an OK substitute. It would be very nice to have an own band like New Blood but that will never happen.

Hi Sarge,

I have been thinking of that for a while but I don't know where to upload the files. I don't want a place where people have to get a membership and have to pay to download the music files. It has to be free and easy. Do you know any site?

I don't, I'm a computer idiot. Surely someone would know of a site.

@hvyj
There's a well-known statistical link between people who like backing tracks and those who like train rhythms. :^}

Hakan, that was fine playing, and it is a great backing track.

That backing track (I think it's the same one, but it's called "Highway Sign" on the web site) and many others are still available for free download.
