Hi "sieg666", those chord made blues more melodic or jazzie. My reference is Robben Ford, but as you say Brian Setzer is similar. Thanks!Creative blues lesson

Hi Ken - to download a backing track from the GMC lesson, you need to click on the small arrow icon next to it in the lesson player. Click here for screenshot demonstration.- Ken Nielsen13th October 2013
Okay, got the screenshot part but how do I get the track onto my computer? I clicked the little download icon on the track listing and it acts like something downloaded but where does it go. Cannot find it.

The backing track file (.mp3) is downloaded into your computer. It usually goes to the downloads folder. You should be able to open the downloads list in your browser and see all the files that you have downloaded via browser, on your computer. Please let me know which browser you use and I should be able to help you in more details. - Javier Aviles13th October 2013Is that backing track available for download.

Thanks for watching my videos! - Ken Nielsen14th October 2013
I'm using Safari on a new Macbook Pro. Normally downloads go to the desktop. I think I have it set that way by default, but nothing showing, hit the download button several times, it acts like a stream is taking place but no file.
- Ken Nielsen14th October 2013
Okay, Yipee! I got it to work. Who can explain computers, anyway, It now worked and the track downloaded. Thank You Bogdan Radovic.
