A question came up on my recent 'The thrill is gone' thread about where I get my backing tracks from and the answer is shown below.
I was wondering whether it would be possible for Forum members to contribute with their favourite backing track sites (free or otherwise) Blues and other genres and update this thread when any new ones are found.
THREAD RESPOPNSE - @AV8R - Thanks, I found a good website with some quality backing tracks at www.guitarbackingtrack.com. There isn't a huge collection here but they are generally good and they are free! The songs have varying degrees of backing from a spartan drum track to Drums, base, and Rhythm and sometimes lead and vocals.
I got 'The thrill is gone' backing track from this site and pretty tasty it is too I think:-

Most of the backing tracks I have used are crappy, free midi's, but it doesn't seem to matter too much when you lay a harp over them, unless they are way too cheesy which midi's often are.
You might find this shocking but I actually bought and downloaded a song the other day that I'm about to work on!!
It might be worth starting a new thread to pool resources on this subject, in case it's lost here.
Would anyone else like to share their source of Backing Tracks, because it is a great way to practice?
Oh and another thing I found on YouTube was this guy's channel and very good it is too for blues fans. He's got some great blues number here.
This is one of the few backing tracks he has posted

It should also be reminded that there is a wealth of information in the "Forum Archive", accessible on the left navigation bar, and here .
There is also a section on jam tracks, scrolling down a little.
