    Can you play the blues? I mean really PLAY

    the blues?

    When was the last time you had the chance to cut loose when you

    improvised? And I don't mean a dinky little solo that you try and hack

    out while jamming with beginner musicians or other low grade Blues

    Lacking Tracks, or a stolen 30 seconds here-and-there trying to jam

    with other recorded artist's music. I'm not even talking about blues

    jam nights where you wait all evening to play and then only get acouple of passes to show everyone what you're made of!

    The kind of blues solos I'm talking about, and that the tracks at

    http://BluesBackingTracks.comallow you to create, are deeply relax-

    ing, inspiring and even life-changing improvisations that are almost

    as invigorating as a week at a health spa!

    Digital Download Versionhttp://www.bluesbackingtracks.com/product.asp?itemid=46

    So I set about solving the dilemma by:

    Recording relevant, good, cool material -

    With myself and other professional musicians So me/my students/you can jam in the comfort of your

    own home and REALLY let loose when you improvise!

    And the 'relevant material' has become the Blues Backing Tracks

    found on the site http://BluesBackingTracks.com- and this unique

    material becomes increasingly potent in compilations like Trading

    12's!

    I'm talking about REALLY getting into a serious blues music groove, and having the time and the freedom to

    experiment to your hearts content with professional musicians willing on your every phrase.

    I'm talking about providing a musical foundation that will allow you to rise to the lofty summits of your blues

    improvisatory greatness!

    Let's get the problems out of the way rst.

    When I rst started out on my musical journey over 20 years ago, some of the biggest problems I had as a

    beginning musician who wanted desperately to 'jam' were:

    Lackof material to jam to/with

    Lackof people to jam with and Unsuitable places to jam at!

    And, as I matured into a professional musician, who now has over 20 years experience as an expert player

    and performer, and as somebody who teaches and produces music full time, those problems didn't disap-

    pear, they went from being just myproblems, to being problems for all of my students too!

    TESTIMONIAL

    ohnny

    hank you for an excellent backing track! I have quite a few tracks for exercise and just some fun but always come back to

    his one (Jazz Funk 12 bar in D) as my nr 1. I like the rhythm and general feel and it allows for excellent (harp) improv.

    hanks again and regards!

    There aint no motion in the ocean without a sizeable wave!

    Dont believe anyone when they say that size doesnt matter! Because with Blues Backing Tracks, its all about the

    ength - and thats the reason the Blues Jam Tracks found on Trading 12s will make such a large dierence in

    your blues playing!

    The Length will let you get into incredible grooves, and these over-20-Minute-cuts stay interesting from the

    outset, they swell and thin out when they need to, and that dynamic range lets you really communicate with your

    self and the music.

    The blues is ALL ABOUT CONVERSATION/COMMUNICATION/COMMUNION and the freedom these tracks give you

    allows you to create epic Call and Response/Question Answer phrasing and will make your blues SOAR!

    And whats more, THERE ARE NO OTHER TRACKS ON THE MARKET LIKE THESE - other Blues Backing Tracks

    found on two bit sites and crappy CDs are more like Blues LACKING Tracks than Blues Backing Tracks and they

    always seem to leave you wanting more - so remember, Trading 12s and all of the other blues Backing Tracks on

    sale at http://bluesbackingtracks.comhave solved the biggest issues for blues musicians from beginner to

    advanced:

    Time (full length tracks are OVER 20 MINUTES!)

    Convenience and Ease (Push play and you can be jamming away)

    Professionalism (Recorded mixed and mastered professionally by expert players/performers)

    THE TRADING 12s EXPERIENCE

    TRADING 12s consists of 4 CDs and a total of12 over-20-minute-long Blues Backing Tracks.

    Track listing is as follows:

    CD1 TRACK 1

    Byther Smith Style 'Dont Like To Travel' Blues In A 50bpm (21.19)

    This 'Classic Blues Backing Track' is Inspired by the Great Byther Smith and the song 'I Don't Like to Travel' from the

    album 'Throw Away The Book' . It's a slow burning blues in the key of A, and gives you the space to really open up your

    A Pentatonic Scale Blues Scale solos over. Recorded in a 12/8 'tripletized' groove you can literally bleed the blues all

    over this track! Ideal for Blues Guitar players and other musicians looking to improve their blues solos using the A Blues

    scale.

    CD 1 TRACK 2

    Otis Rush Style 'Cant Quit You' Blues Backing Track In Bb 50bpm (21.18)

    Another slow-turning, heart-rending blues backing track, this time in the key of Bb and inspired by the legendary Otis

    Rush. 'I can't quit you Baby' is another of Blues Backing Track's 'Classic Blues Backing Tracks' and will allow you to carve

    out some beautiful blues solos in the key of Bb.

    'I can't quit you baby' has been covered by bands like Led Zeppelin and other artists like Buddy Guy and BB King and is

    a great tune, and a great track to jam to. Remember, the only cure for the blues is to PLAY the blues, and there's no

    better blues backing tracks out there!

    CD 1 TRACK 3

    Mid Town Funk Down' Blues Backing Track In B 80bpm (22.56)

  • 7/31/2019 Trading 12s Catalogue

    4/7

    Mid Town Blues picks up the pace a little and is a mid-tempo funk blues backing track in the key of B. The deliberately

    'phat' bass line is like an old warm coat and will keep the chill of the blues at bay - this blues backing track is a great one

    to groove with and will inspire many great blues solos for pianists, blues guitar players, bassists, harpists or even

    drummers. Bear in mind, Blues Backing Tracks aren't only for blues guitarists - they're for all blues musicians and all of

    us have room for blues improvement!

    CD 2 TRACK 1

    Funk Me' Blues Backing Track In C 120bpm (24.07)

    This Up-Tempo Blues Backing Track in C is cut in the vein of 'Couldn't Stand The Weather' by Stevie Ray Vaughan, while

    not exactly the same as that SRV Track, it bears a passing resemblance to that classic tune and will get you playing in

    the key of Cm, using the Cm Pentatonic Blues Scale to create some of your most electrifying Blues Solos that you've

    ever created!!

    CD 2 TRACK 2

    Drivin South' Blues Backing Track In C# 160bpm (23.02)

    Driving South is an incredible track! And when I rst heard the Jimi Hendrix version it completely blew me away! Thistrack bears a similar feel and groove to both the Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix version and is a hard-hitting

    12-bar-blues in C#m. Driven by some huge 'machine gun' Led Zeppelin style drumming this powerful blues backing

    track really pushes the envelope and will let you sweat out some severe blues solos! You'll be drawn back to this track

    repeatedly!

    CD 2 TRACK 3

    Earl Hooker Style 'Baby Gone Away' Blues Backing Track In D 88bpm (22.38)

    This Blues Backing Track is Chicago Blues in it nest hour - just a cool groove waiting to be tamed by your searing blueschops! Based on and in an Earl Hooker style this track will set your D Blues Scale on Fire!

    Testimonial.

    I have worked with bluesbackingtracks.com and found the product and service to be excellent. After I made a mistake

    during my online purchase, I called Johnny. He answered the phone and sorted out the problem. I was on my way to

    jamming without delay. As a beginner to intermediate player I have found backing tracks to be a great way of tapping into

    one's musicality, nding proper rhythm, and implementing scales that have been practiced. Even a new player can break

    out of monotonous practice and improvise using basic scales. It's a lot of fun and an excellent way to nd your own groove.

    TESTIMONIALI am extremely pleased with the Blues Backing Tracks I bought from you - I'll come back for more

    when I've worn 'em out :)

    The 5 backing tracks I've downloaded are great! :) Finally I can practice with *real* backing.

    20 minutes is just right for me. I'm pretty much a beginner, but I've already seen progress with

    my comping and lead work after my rst couple of hours with your tracks. Great stu! The

    tracks are an excellent learning tool.

    I'm really crazy about 'I am the funk', love those meaty, chunky chords!

    Thanks for your help & the super Blues Backing Tracks!

    CD 3 TRACK 1

    Funky Monkey' Blues Backing Track In Eb 90bpm (23.30)

    This track is again taken from the Texas blues leanings of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, also with a nod to

    Stevie's brother Jimmy Vaughan, this brutal blues funk groove sits nicely in the mid-tempo range and is IDEAL forguitarists who want to tune their guitars down a half step to Eb and let it ow as if they were playing in E (which is what

    Jimi Hendrix and Stevie would play in the majority of the time). Again, like 'Funk Me' in C, this isn't a true 'Classic Blues

    Backing Track' but one that has a resemblance to a track or style!

    CD 3 TRACK 2

    Die For The Funk' Blues Backing Track In E 80bpm (21.28)

    An uncompromising tour-de-force of Guitar driven brawn, this ruthless Blues Backing Track will have you screaming the

    blues and will not let you get away once it has you in it's formidable snare! With a denite nod to Jimi Hendrix thisgritty Blues Backing Track in E is one of my favourite tracks that I've ever written and produced - it just seems to 'get me'

    every time! I love jamming to this one and I know you will too - as a guitarist, the blues solos and licks seem to just fall

    out of my ngers to it!

    CD 3 TRACK 3

    Charlie Patton Style 'Pony Express' Blues Backing Track In F 125bpm (25.27)

    Hold onto your hats as the Pony Express in F is out of control! This Rockabilly/Country blues backing track will speed up

    your F Pentatonic licks an absolute charm. This blues jam track will bring you to the limit of your playing at breakneck

    speed while taking you on a wild and exciting ride! Loosely Based on the Charlie Patton Track 'Pony Blues' you'll love

    jamming to this track!

    TESTIMONIAL

    As an intermediate guitarist who spends most of his practice time alone, I nd good backing tracks

    extremely helpful. Unfortunately, many of the backing tracks I've found are low-quality, often recorded

    without any actual guitars, and use very generic chords and ris. Listening to these for hours on end while

    you improvise can be tiring rather than inspiring.

    (Johnny London's) Blues Backing Tracks are dierent - they all sound like real music recorded in a studio,

    and they're fun to listen to even if you're not playing along. They use interesting chords, modes, and

    ris to avoid sounding like generic backing tracks, and come in a variety of styles and keys. Each track is

    over 20 minutes long, so you have plenty of time to get into the groove and gure out what to play, but

    they never get repetitive or boring. Whenever guitar practice seems tedious, I start one of these tracks, and

    moments later I'm having fun trying out new ris and melodies.

    If you're looking for quality tracks for practice, or starting points for composing your own music, you won't

    nd anything better than Johnny London's Blues Backing Tracks (http://BluesBackingTracks.com).

    CD 4 TRACK 1

    Funking Out' Blues Backing Track In F# 70bpm (23.24)

    An almost dirty down-tempo funk Groove Blues Backing Track in F# will let you negotiate this often unused key while

    laying down a foundation of cool Blues brilliance! Denitely a great track for those in need of playing in a less popular

    blues key. Using the F# Pentatonic Blues Scale (which starts on the 2nd Fret for Blues Guitarists) you can fashion some

    fantastic Blues licks in F#!

    CD 4 TRACK 2

    Santana Style' Blues Backing Track In G 85bpm (22.41)

    Stripped down Acoustic guitar driven Carlos Santana style 12-bar- Blues Backing Track In G! This track is a perennial

    favourite here on Blues Backing Tracks . com and will get you tearing out the blues in the key of G - a much loved key

    among blues artists. Created in the style of Santana opposed to being a 'Classic Blues Backing Track' based on a

    particular track of his, this Blues Jam Track will get your blues juices owing for sure!

    CD 4 TRACK 3

    The Blues Express' Blues Backing Track In Ab 85bpm (23.48)

    Swung 12 Bar Blues Backing Track in Ab with a nod to The Doors 'Love me two times' and John Lee Hooker's 'Boom

    Boom'. Improvise using Ab pentatonic blues scale when playing to this cool (almost Delta Blues but more Chicago

    Blues style!) Blues Track.

    Now, there are a few "harsh reality" reasons that you may not be willing to make the small investment in your blues

    playing (that will pay HUGE dividends over your lifetime) and I've thought long and hard about them:

    Reason 1:

    I'm a beginner - there has never been a better time than RIGHT NOW to learn how to improvise - I believe that saying

    you aren't ready is just disguised fear. When will you be ready? Next week, next year? Tomorrow never comes and

    yesterdays keep piling up - now is the time for positive action!

    Reason 2:

    You are content with your playing - you can solo pretty well and you think you can cut it, and no doubt you can, butcontentment is like an invisible barrier on the road to mastery - often you don't even know that this life-sucking

    feeling is holding you back from your true greatness. It's normally the most optimistic and successful people that

    invest the most in their improvement because they've already smashed the invisible barriers that hold most back -

    they are quick to see the inherent value in something like 'Trading 12s' and even quicker in acting on making it a part

    of their playing routine.

    TESTIMONIAL

    The tracks are great. There really is no better learning and growing tool! Learn some scales and tech-

    nique then play what's inside of you. That's what it's all about for me. I'm a 40'ish that picked the guitar

    again after 25 years and these tracks make sure I'll never put it down again. Thanks!
