50Blues Guitar Backing Tracks Review

Here is a review of 50Blues backing tracks as seen from the editors at Guitar Player Magazine

I have been looking for good blues backing tracks for the longest time.

Finally, I have found the ones that I know will improve my guitar playing tenfold. I can't believe how great the sound quality really is, I feel like I'm actually jamming with a professional blues backing band

Normally you get a bunch of ready-made MIDI tracks which are just fake digital instrument sounds that are worse than television game sounds from the 80s!

50Blues has an amazing deal where you get 50 blues backing tracks that are Instantaneously download-able after ordering them. You can also opt for the 2 CD physical version

They have everything from slow blues ballads, shuffles, fast, funk, jazzy blues and much much more. Now, with a click of a play button I can apply my guitar riffs and licks over a professional band that remains in tempo and loves how to support a lead guitarist.

Any real blues musician will tell you that practice is what makes the difference. That is hands on practising with a real blues backing band. Of course playing live is always the best because you can practice playing in front of people as well as playing along with the band.

But with blues backing tracks from 50Blues you are THAT MUCH CLOSER to the real deal. My lead guitar playing has already improved by at least twice since I have been playing along with these backing tracks. It makes it so much fun practicing.

If you are just starting out with blues guitar or if you are looking to improve your present soloing skills I highly recommend this product to you. I give it two thumbs up and 5 stars!

The only negative thing about it is that you can't practice in front of masses like you can when playing with a real live professional band at a club or event or gig.

But lets face it...this is the next best thing and you might like it better being able to practice on your own before letting loose your skills to the rest of the world!
