Excellent backing tracks for practicing musicians! Irresistible grooves that really make you want to play. Now you can jam with a GREAT band anytime you like, and all you need is your instrument and a regular CD player! Perfect for amateur and professionals. Rave reviews, years of unsolicited testimonials from musicians all over the world stating just how much these products have improved their playing! A fabulous tool for teachers! The free booklet contains chord changes and an overview of each track, as though a fellow musician were guiding you through the jam! Novice players will learn to listen for cues in each track, while learning to keep good time and play with a strong, tight rhythm section.

It’s more fun to jam with a Band In The Pocket!

I agree with the other reviewers and give this four stars. There is a good amount of blues styles in different keys and the songs are all around five minutes long (although there are only eight tracks). This CD is great for those who like to strap on the guitar and start wailing out solos like I do. And, unlike a real band, the CD never complains about unending solos. The tracks are also good for practicing your scales and patterns. I recommend it and will probably be checking out the others in the series.

i am a blues harmonica and vocal artist. this item is just the thing for me when working without a band. it's fairly easy to practice or perform solo with a guitar, but not so easy with the harmonica. i play on the streets of new orleans using these tracks on my boom box and backing them up on harp with my pignose amp. it's great! i even did a gig in a club. i'm looking forward to "band in the pocket #2". thanks marv! jersey slim

I've been a working guitar player for over 40 years. Now that I've "retired" it's hard to get the guys together for a jam session. I found these on the web and saw a demo video. I bought the first two CDs and I can say they are great. It's a great band with a great recording. You can step right in and feel at home. I've tried some of the on-line jam tracks but they don't hold a candle to these. Now, if I could just get the time to jam more!

Great back-up band for the budding bluesman
This is a straight forward back up band CD with a variety of tempos and keys. The tracks are long enough to not have to keep restarting and force you to do a few variations with... Read more
