Thanks for the messages and kind words. Much appreciated. The site pretty much runs on positive comments. Cheers, Nick.

Hi all, It's been a while since I posted on here. Been busying learning, playing writing and the rest of it as usual. I went through free jam tracks and made a page so you can download pretty much ALL the jam tracks from the one place for those of you who just want the backing tracks and...

Thanks hry glb - I really appreciate the compliment. It took my entire Sunday to write it all out and when I posted it I thought, 'hmmm, I wonder if this'll make sense to anyone or is it only clear in my head.' I've had some good comments from you and a few people I've shown so that's been...

Yeah, it'd be good if it was made a sticky. This post was taken down for a while. I think cause I tried to add a members section to the site at one point - so it was deemed a commercial posting. But the members bit didn't last too long - there was no point to it - the site pretty much just...

No problem for the info. Thanks for the kind comments. Far out I have just spent ALL DAY (Sunday) trying to write out everything I know/have learned/worked out on the modes. I've been meaning to do this for a LONG time but knew I'd get caught up in it. I like thinking about this type of stuff...

That's a great idea to get a bass so that you can jam with your son. Very cool. Happy and safe Holidays.

No problem. ah the modes page - I need to improve it - I can make it better. Might try and do that over New Year - I have a few days at home. There is a lot of work I want to do on the site next year. Lot's of little things to help people get more out of it all. Jam on!

Hi all. Well it's been a while and I have been busy playing and stuff but have finally got around to putting up the beginner bass lessons on my website. The lessons are free. They are for beginners from the ground up. Lesson 1 starts on the Root note and they build from there. There...

ok - I've started the 'move'! Moving everything from here: Link Removed To here: www.FreeJamTracks.com/Bass-Guitar-Lessons.html I'll probably move over at least 1 lesson each day and edit/update them as I go. Once the stuff that is from BassBlues is all moved over there are about 9...

Rock n roll, I haven't posted on here for a while so thought I would drop by and say hello. For anyone who hasn't seen previous threads, my name is Nick and I have a website that is FREE - that you can download backing tracks/jam tracks from. As I am a bass player there are tracks on there...

You're welcome afromoose. Bill - yeah - tracks 1-6 aren't on the blues bass pages cause when I first started the website it was just for guitar. ie the first 6 tracks were with bass. Then I started taking off the bass each time I recorded - ie track 7 onwards. And then again much later taking...

oh - and pps - after you write them all out in C - take each scale and then go play them with the jam tracks on my site. That's the whole reason I put them up there. Because of a similar post.

......... damn, I just missed Family Guy! :D

Michael you have almost got it. In the key of C. Yep - the I chord is C. The ii, iii, IV etc chords are the chords from the notes from the C scale - ie the key we are in. C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, vii. I You've got that - now you want to know what the notes are...

Just to elaborate. It's all talking in numbers when you use ..... the numbers. The I chord is the Root chord of whatever key the song is in. The ii chord is chord off the 2nd degree (note) in the scale RELATIVE to the Root of the scale you are in. So if you are in C. The C Major...
