Useful Backing Tracks

[BassMan94]

Hi

I'm at that moment where I've started to Solo, thing is I cannot find any decent backing tracks !

I've looked around on Youtube and sorts of places like that and only found a handful of tracks I actually like.

Most will be your typical blues, heavy metal, rock ... Not really into it.

Does anyone know where I can find some Soul, Funk, that sorta style of backing tracks other than youtube ?

Cheers

Are there any programs which allow you to make backing tracks without being too complex ?

I have found Chordbot for Android and iPhone/iPad to be useful for setting up chord sequences to practice against. If you pay for it you can save your sequences. There are a number of styles of accompaniment.

Packed them into a 200mb rar file uploading it now to mediafire, going to be ready for download about 6.30pm (can only upload at 50k per second)

The [url="http://basschat.co.uk/forum/41-groove-library/"]Groove Library[/url] forum was sort of supposed to add some bits that all might use. Been a while since I've been there though

Thanks Mate
Pm me with the links ?

Anyone want some funky/jazz type backing tracks let me know. Most all have guitar & drums, all have no bass guitar at all, although some have some light keyboards, so you have to find your own space. I have 200mb of them on[i] Mediafire[/i]

Scott Devine's backing tracks packages --he calls them "The Play-Along Series"are really awesome and very affordable for what you get: every package includes a great video lesson in which Scott shows you how to practice over the backing tracks to get the most out of them.

I only bought the II-V-I the first time but ended up buying them all! (what I should have done in the first place, as you get a nice discount when buying several packages...). After just 2 weeks I could really feel a huge difference in my playing.

Here they are: http://scottsbasslessons.com/backing-tracks-bass

I've been signed up at [url="http://www.wikiloops.com"]www.wikiloops.com[/url] for a while - there's loads of community-produced backing tracks available in a searchable database plus, if you record what you play as an mp3 you can upload it for other people to play over....

Get some midi files - there are some good ones and some rubbish ones
Import them into something like Cubase, Garageband or similar
Assign a synth to the chord track
Assign some drums to the drum track
Plug your bass in to some kind of interface and off you go

Sounds long winded but its pretty quick once you get going and you can loop and jam on and on and on and on and on and on

You can also record yourself - speed up or slow down the track - move it into different keys
