As a moderate Guitarist I found that the most difficult thing to learn is how to play with others in a band situation! These stand Alone Tracks are like having a Band in a can ready to come out and play when ever I am! I love it!

It's having your own band right there in your den! And no chick singer or obnoxious harp player to deal with! A good variety of Blues rhythms to choose from and in varied keys. And it's perfect for any level of expertise. If it's possible to wear out a CD this will be the first one I do!

This is my first backing track purchase. After looking online at downloads and listening to samples I figured that at this price, even if only one or two tracks are good then I'm happy.
What you get is 12 tracks in various keys and tempos. The booklet has two pages for each track - one page shows the chord progression and the second shows the scale and the configuration of the verses (ie: solo here, play changes here etc) Anyway, after considering the purchase of a fender G Dec, I think that this CD is less lame than the Fender's tracks and now that I have messed with it for about a week, I can't believe how much more I am playing now. I think that aimless 'noodling' might be good exercise for your hands but you can develop bad habits. With a track playing in a specific key you can noodle and actually get something out of it.
