good on you for supporting Adam! They're good tracks, too.
You may also want to use the forum search on the left. I believe Jaybird linked to around 300 mb of jamtracks a while back.

Some older threads I found on the subject:
Thread 1
Thread 2
Thread 3
I got the jam tracks set recorded by Charlie Hilbert offered by Adam. Very nice stuff. Lots of learning and work for me yet to learn how to jam.

OK, I have a slightly different slant on this question. I've been working my way through Adam's lessons from the store. The lessons I've been working on lately tend to come from classic blues tunes that I can download (such as 'Caldonia', 'Going Down South', 'I Got Love If You Want It'...)However, a lot of the "beginner/advanced beginner" lessons are tunes that Adam came up with himself. Does anyone have ideas for jam tracks or even standard blues tunes that I can use as backing tracks for some of the lessons like "Bittersweet Boogie", "Same Old Blues", "Whistlin The Blues" and "Down Home"?
I bought the Hills Blues (?) jam tracks and although there's a lot of information in the video that Adam provided with them I don't find them all that useful. I have some tracks from one of Dave Barrett's lessons that are pretty good. If there's some tracks on the Hilbert/Gussow series that would fit well with these lessons I'd be more than happy to buy them.

I got Adam's. Fine for what i do. Actually, I am not sure what I do, but the tracks are better than my playing deserves.

I have also downloaded Adam's lessons you mentioned and have the same experience of learning the lesson but, with a few exceptions, having difficulty applying it when jamming to a blues track. However I do feel the lessons have improved my playing. I also have the Hilbert tracks and find them 50% useful but have a hard time with the rest. Adam's YouTube lessons on the few Hilbert Jams like "Easy" and "Checking Up On My Baby" were very helpful. I wish he would do more YouTube or even lessons on the Hilberts.
Also I recently posted the following:
"I recently down loaded Adam's Mojo lesson and have semi mastered it but having a hard time jamming with the arrangement to any Mojo recordings except maybe Butterfields version. Any suggestions?
Great lesson however." I received no responses.
I've copied a lot of the MW, SBW, PB, notes onto the Hilbert Jams and that has worked somewhat.

@Tweed...the lessons have definitely improved me as a player. I think I took the right tact in learning them in the order that they are sold on the website. My ability to move from bent to unbent is really improving and overall I think i'm a better player. As you stated, though, I'm really searching for a couple of tunes that I can use to jam with. It's one thing to play the pieces alone, which sound fine, but quite another to play them with acompanying music.
I haven't tried the Mojo Working lesson but will be soon. If I find a track to play along with I'll let you know.

I just happened to hold my F harp, and looked for a jamtrack on my computer, which I didn't find. In an impulse I checked Spotify. Turns out there's some nice stuff in there. Not all straight blues, but that makes it challenging!
Just thought I'd throw in the tip!

Nice one Willy, and you managed to revive an old thread started by a much beloved member who is barely heard from anymore.
Two birds...one stone.
Nice.

They are not free ($39.99 for the 2 CD's), but Jimi Lee's "Every Groove A Blues Man Needs To Know" are great jam tracks. I find myself using them all the time. Looks like his downloadable version is on sale for $29.99 right now.
