Backing Tracks

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi there,
does anyone know where I can find any free backing tracks for practicing bass lines. Various styles, especially like this one:

‪FPE-TV Derrick Murdock Fender Jazz Bass‬‏ - YouTube

Of course other styles will be appreciated as well, exept metal and other "pick-required" styles, hahaha. I mean jazz, blues, funky, 70's disco, some pop and ballads.

You might consider "Band In A Box". You can create your own tracks with whatever chord progression you need and just turn off the bass track.

If you want access to an almost unlimited library, just download a midi player (e.g. sweet midi for ipad). You can then google search for midi tracks of any songs you are interested in and use the midi tracks as backing. As its midi, you can control each instrument e.g. turn off the bass track, turn up the drums etc.

Songsterr is also good as an online resource. Haven't tried wikiloops - will have to give that a go!
