I like to set a key for my practice and do all my scales/chords/jamming in that key for the week, so I'd be looking for a backing in D minor for example, but finding one for every single key is just a pain. I just don't get time to look because the time I have free I'm using to practice, so it'd be nice to just have 1 place where I can go and know there is a good backing already available. It'd be cool if members could access an area where there are 3 or 4 tracks in each key that you can just download and jam to, it'd be a really useful resource, at least I think so. -Adam You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I agree with you completely, it would be great to have such a place. For instance, we could collect every single backing track on GMC (from instructors' lessons) and organise into categories like keys/tempo/modulations... I hope the administrators will consider this, Adam ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

So I started separating backing tracks which I would use every day for some jamming.

I also think it would be great if each member created their own backing tracks in style they need. This way you learn how to do midi programing , arranging and recording. Very beneficial as it will just help you expand your musical ideas. If you need chord progressions for certain mode I will be happy to provide them for you.
