Best source of backing tracks for practicing?

[J.Wolf]

Looking for some good tracks to download/stream with great drum parts and interesting chords for practicing progressions, soloing, etc.. and trying to find some sources. I figured some of you guys might have some suggestions. 16 bar blues 'band in a can' need not apply. ;-)

Any particular tunes or genre? Are you looking for the generic 'endless loop' type or complete arrangements of particular songs/tunes?

 

[J.Wolf]

Modern jazz or fusion i.e. not standards. I have i real book for that. Endless loops are fine, doesn’t have to be full arrangements

Here is a small collection that I use sometimes . . .

. . . might not be enough jazz in it for you tho. Just search on YT for "bass backing track" and that should give you many more selections.

i don't know if this link will work, but the cat ( [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] ) is on spotify with a bunch of music-minus-bass tracks --- apparently many useful genres. i haven't really listened or scoped him out, but he keeps showing up on my FB feed. might be worth investigating.
link:
Music Minus Bass, a playlist by tobraham on Spotify


edit: after listening (a bunch of good/usable stuff!) he apparently has assembled a bunch of tracks he's found...maybe he's not the author. check it out. and google "music minus bass" for some youtube stuff.

good luck!

 

[J.Wolf]

these are great, thanks!

The iReal pro app has songs you can store import and you can create your own if you want. Also, if you are looking for just drum tracks SuperMetronome is pretty good.

I suggest buy SherMusic backing tracks, which you can download after payment.
Play-Along CDs for The New Real Book - Vol. 1 | Sher Music Co.

I have entire backing tracks on Pop-Fusion Classics, amazing.
