Have you ever considered the fact that practicing your blues guitar skills requires playing with a real professional band? Especially before you can progress to the next level of your playing.
Well, not everybody has a professional band lying around that they can call up and say, "OK, I'm ready to practice now.
" Does anybody? Even professional practices must be planned and organized and usually is only once a week.
So, how on earth are you supposed to get prepped for the real world? Any famous guitar player will tell you that the best way to learn, is to practice, practice, practice! That's why you should try looking into purchasing blues jam tracks.
Often times you will find that the blues jam tracks you'll run into are made of digital instruments that aren't real and it sounds like a cheesy video game from the 1970s! Make sure you do your homework and choose the right CD to practice along with.
It should have real instruments along with a professional band.
You also want it to have a wide variety of tempos and styles.
You'll want it to have a shuffle, a fast blues, a slow blues, etc.
and it is important that the players on the CD are in tune and stay in time (tempo).
I know that sounds pretty basic but you'd be surprised how many people will put up with cheesy midi blues jam tracks that they try to download...
and it comes out terrible! All I know is that ever since I started playing along with blues jam tracks I have improved my guitar playing tenfold.
Having the power to control a professional blues band with the click of a mouse and a play button was incredible.
I would recommend this method of learning to everyone.
