good backing tracks

[Dmoney]

yo.

anybody have a good resource for backing tracks? even if its just 12 bar blues loops.
I kind of want to improve my lead playing and fancy jamming along to something after I was on tour doing similar with the drummer for the other band we were with.

I'd like to avoid obviously midi sounding stuff and get something that sounds more like a legit band.

Haha, well you should get utorrent. My cat could probably work it lol. The file will automatically open utorrent and download to ur download folder, so it's very easy.

The first one is  massive file, but you can just select the ones you want. The second one is just some random styles of backing tracks :)

Guitarist mag CDs have lots of blues based backing tracks. Twinfan sent me a load in the post a while back. Ask him to send you some  8)
