Ive solod over about 10000 backing tracks. and this is one of the best ive ever found. not a loop but a progression. you weave in and out of peaks beautifully. finally it sounds like im playing over fishman! thank you!
You’re like the Jamey Aebersold of jam band music! Thanks man seriously. It feels nice to play along with your tracks. They feel natural playful and fun.
You're too kind! That might be the best comment on I've gotten on one of my backing tracks! Jamey Aebersold's tracks are the best and what inspired my to start making these.
I'm in heaven. Its not a loop. Its a full crescendo with some space in between. So much fun to add intensity with the drums/band picking it up too vs a loop. Thank you. More!
I'm crying right now just listening to this. This track is so incredibly phun to play over, much better than boring old DAG on my looper! I slapped that subscribe button faster than I ever have, how can I not? A jam track of, "A Live One" Hood?!? THANK YOU!!!!!
Jeff, your videos are my therapy. Thank you so freaking much for creating these. You have no idea how much jamming to these has helped me get through A LOT. Can you please, maybe, but really, seriously, like very seriously, good lord I beg u……consider making a Jibboo backing track for guitar…..?
EDIT: A little typo on my part, the chords are mainly D A G not D G A especially at the beginning and end. The middle pulls in different directions. 🎵 SOLO CHALLENGE 🎵 Record a video of yourself playing over this backing track and add a link to it in a comment below. I will add the video to my Solo Challenge playlist. It’s a great way to challenge yourself to improve, share your sound, inspire others and have fun!
@@JeffWilliamsGuitar Haha I was thinking the same thing! Playing through the first time felt totally organic, but man - this one gives fresh ideas every time. Thank you for creating that experience for us! Super enjoying what you have to share
This is the best backing track I have ever played. BRAVO!! Thank you! I mean seriously, heaven. I am in AWE!!!! Wow! A performance. Can you do more????? This is a pandemic saver!!!
Awesome, glad it's helpful! I think I could try making another one. Jk, I have 129 and more every month. Here's the full playlist of them: ua-cam.com/play/PLWbyLS1VMRzjlZHkd6H3WfV070jTJ9w2W.html
for real man these backing tracks are insane. For most of my life it's been a therapeutic thing for me to just solo over looped chord progressions. Always wondered what it would feel like to play with some great improvisers, basically be in the position trey is in. This is the closest thing i'll probably ever get to that lmao. Thanks. The part around 6 min where it's mostly just D's being played - nice touch, i went into some minor shit and it worked since it wasn't clashing with any d major stuff.
@@JeffWilliamsGuitar it really feel like iam playing with Phish... (Trey is the reason i wanted to play guitar) i just start playing again after a long break du to ilness (more than 5 years) Beeing to play with this track was (and is lol) mindbowingly fun May i ask the permision if its ok i upload a video of me playing on that track? I will credit you with pleasure... Iam not doing anything commercial but i respect your work
@@samuelj.rivard Of course! I always encourage people to put up videos of themselves playing along with the tracks. Post a link here when you've got it. Next track up for Phish...YEM (Jam)!
I was expecting a D A G loop but this building progression is incredibly fun to play over. SO well done. Inspired me to really dig in. Hope to record a sample. Thank you!
These backing tracks are great. That being said I think it’s also a way for your keyboard player to flex. I don’t know if it’s you or not but the ya mar track and now playing over this I’m pretty sure it’s a way for the keyboardist to shine. The drums/bass is on point too, but whoever is playing the keyboard is above and beyond
Best backing track ever. No lie just picked up my guitar for the first time in like 2 weeks just was like woah man. Thank you so much more like this please! Great jams!
Hello, I’m really having trouble reading this scale and any other scale, I’m fairly new to guitar and tries looking up how to play them, do you have any videos explaining how to read and play them?
Hey Jeff! I'm wondering how I can get in contact with you to ask a few questions; what's your email/best place to be reached with individual questions? I'm wondering if you could do a lesson on how to "build" like Trey does on so many Harry Hoods. Especially in '94, he has this inate power to build tension and energy effortlessly. Please let me know!!
Hi Jeff! I just wanted to send out a big thank you for all of these backing tracks. This Hood one is my absolute favorite and I feel like all of them have definitely helped me improve and I can't thank you enough. If there were a way I could email you I'd love to share some of the snippets I've recorded to your backing tracks. Thanks!
Thanks for making this jam track at basically the exact same tempo as the Live Phish version.... (that first official release) I'm just diving back into some of my roots like Phish/Dead and playing more guitar.... I realize a whole backing track of Hood would be an undertaking but i was at least able to splice this jam track on the end of that to have a full 15 minute version to play through with all the parts etc.... :-) Your jam tracks have gone a long way towards getting me to dive back into this stuff that I was so into when i first was starting playing! I'll swing you another tip asap. :-)
Did you play all the instruments? If so, bravo. And if not, bravo anyhow, because that probably is the best phish backing track I've heard. Thanks dude!
@@JordanShokrian We actually don't play together at the same time and do anything other than tracks like this one. I live in the US but the drummer is across the pond in Italy!
How do you make yours sound so good Matt?! I wish I could take all the credit, but now it's just me on the bass with a super talented drummer and amazing keyboardist.
Jeff how did you play the drums for this? Did you play and record on a kit, or midi, something else? Love it cheers! Congrats on this being the top result for 'harry hood backing track' ;) you are crushing it.
Hey, thanks! I'd love to start adding the beginning of some of the more complicated Phish tunes...but right now for me, I don't have the time to tackle such beasts! I certainly take requests. I can't get to all of them but let me know what you're thinkin' and I'll add it to my list.
Cool..I think if you build out your Possum a bit more and add a Funky Bitch..those are great for practicing fundamentals...a nice long Slave would be awesome, Dirt, Farmhouse would be cool...so many to think of!
During regular times I'm gigging mostly on pedal steel and lots of bass and solo acoustic gigs... Electric is what I play out the least but what i've been playing the most recently.... but I did revisit this tune off Rift that I have always loved and worked out the pedal steel part for the fun of it. ua-cam.com/video/rQm_29rW83Q/v-deo.html
Jeff "Mike Gordon" Williams, Jeff "Page McConnell" Williams, and Jeff "Jon Fishman" Williams give Mike Gordon, Page McConnell, and Jon Fishman a run for their money, IMO.
Whoa, high praise! I wish I could say I played it all, but just lay down the bass and guitar (then mute it) and have a drummer and keyboardist help me out. They're the best! Well, of course then there's Page and Fishman. Can't wait for live Phish again!
...I just'can;t get into the groove. I love jam tracks, and I really dig yours Jeff. I am frustrated and have been all year that I don;t have people to jam with.
@@2817well I hear ya. It was a rough 2020 and this year isn't gonna be easy either. I make these tracks mainly as practice tools for people and just to have fun. But they certainly can't replace playing live with other people.
This is a special sort of jam track that I can listen to without playing my guitar.
You're too kind!
Ive solod over about 10000 backing tracks. and this is one of the best ive ever found. not a loop but a progression. you weave in and out of peaks beautifully. finally it sounds like im playing over fishman! thank you!
Wow, thanks! High praise. More to come. Up next for Phish...YEM Jam!

THANK YOU!!!!!
Wow! No problemo. It's a joy to make these. Keep a look out on Tuesday...another 'jam' section will be posted.
This is great man.. I love how you started really chill and give it a lot of headroom
Thanks!
Jeff is doing God’s work with these!!!! You even used the A Live One version! You’re amazing.
Thank you so much for making these!
No prob and thank you so much!
Jeff, your videos are my therapy. Thank you so freaking much for creating these. You have no idea how much jamming to these has helped me get through A LOT. Can you please, maybe, but really, seriously, like very seriously, good lord I beg u……consider making a Jibboo backing track for guitar…..?
I can tell this jam is influenced by the Harry Hood from A Live One, my favorite version of the song by far, and one of my favorite Phish Jams!
You got it, good ears! Definitely one of my favorite Phish jams too. I love Trey's clean sound when it starts and it's so quiet.
EDIT: A little typo on my part, the chords are mainly D A G not D G A especially at the beginning and end. The middle pulls in different directions.

Holy hell...I had NO idea what I was in for when I started that jam. That was something else.....
The only downside to a backing track....if you try it again it won't change! I'll have to start making multiple versions!
