I can still see it clearly in my mind, the night Weston played his guitar and sang 'Stop Running Away'. We recorded it at my home studio in Jena, Louisiana. I played lead guitar on an old Gibson B15 acoustic guitar and sang backup. Very few people knew what a great keyboardist he was. He is no longer with us and I miss him every day. God bless you Weston, I love you, brother. .... Jeaux
I was still in a depressed mood after an hour of trying to play my way out of it. Your track came on and i got into it and felt like i was actually making music instead of just hammering away. Thanks for the save!
Am I the only one who hears Metallica in this? Great heavens, this is an awesome backing track. Pentatonics, diatonics, catatonics... it didn't matter! It makes me soar and my leads sizzle! Thank you, Daniel Albrand!
For those asking or haven't figured it out Em / C / D / Em and repeat is the progression. For those just starting I suggest outlining those chords and bending into notes in those chords. Have fun!
@@wadepatton2433 I fully agree, you should learn scales. I was just suggesting for those just picking up a guitar that the Em scale's outlining of these chords would be good fpr those first picking up the guitar.
@@markototev it really was my pleasure :D It's always good to know that people are still using backing tracks to solo and looking to the comments for tips! Appreciated!
well done beautiful arrangement. started playing and had to stop when using the harmonic minor and phrygian dominant. brought me to tears from various memories, very simple and beautiful...the magic in music...thankx
@@carlnielsen7004 Subtle? lol I mysel had to stop with the mixolydian sub-dominant 7th arpeggio. It brought too many memories of the music classes I never had. Tears of joy, though.
I’m a rhythm guitar player , but since I started experimenting with these backing tracks I found out that I am really enjoying learning scales and soloing as well ... what a beautiful ride this life of music really is ... thanks for this.
I have never heard such an exceptional backing track.. congratulations to its creator.. I have a lot of pleasure working on my instrument on this musical piece.. sorry for my bad English
This track flows beautifully, which allows the soloist to focus on technique. This one is much more fun to practice to than the "fancy" tracks that put in outside chords to sound "jazzy." Well done, indeed!
Yes Daniel! This is absolutely beautiful! I thank you so much sir. You know, there are hundreds of musicians like yourself recording and posting these wonderful pieces of art. I can't help but wonder of the various degrees of talent that are produced from practicing with this awesome tool. I will be 66 years young this year and I remember attempting to learn the guitar in the late 60's and early 70's only to get frustrated and quit. Of course, I only have myself to blame, you must have passion to do anything really well in this life. I have that passion today and although I am a fledgling, it is like religion...I hear it, I feel it, and I am beginning to put it all together. Thanks for sharing Daniel. ☮

I really want to listen to what everyone here came up with. This track is so beautiful. There should be a group where we can share our solos. Everybody can learn from others
Hadn't picked up my guitar in a while... This simple yet powerfully melodic track took me somewhere I hadn't been. Created some sweet sweet leads over this. THANKS
By far my favorite track to play along with. First time I truly felt like I was decent at playing solo’s was to this track. Thank you for whoever came up with this. I will always use it to learn and improve. 🙏
Magic,a bit costly, thats the first time in years Ive broken a g string bending it, but this track is just begging you to test your limit. Very nice indeed, I salute you.
As someone who is just learning the pentatonic shapes this is great opportunity to move the shapes out of Am and get familiar with other positions. E seems like the next natural step. Thanjks
I’ve been jamming out with this track for about 3 years now and it never gets old. There’s no telling how many new licks I’ve made up from playing along with it. My latest one is a slide guitar solo in standard tuning that mainly focuses on triads. I used the fretless guitar setting in my digitech rp360xp and it’s just great sounding. Many thanks for this awesome jam track!
I could sing and play to this and never be tired of this thanks for the chance to escape this cold world for several hours while enjoying this creation of yours.
Thank you so much for this, got me out of my improv slump (I was feeling beyond frustrated and discouraged yesterday), out of my 2 shapes, just out of my comfort zone in general. I feel like this is one of those epiphany tracks that unlocks myself more as a guitar player.
Wow! I've been looking for a backing track where you can just lay out those long David gilmour like sustained notes and just get lost in your playing... This is it!! Thanks. I'll be playing the heck out of this one!!!
This is beautiful, I legit sat in my room with reverb all the way up on acoustic and played, I don’t know what it is but it had to be the best I’ve ever played
This is simply amazing! Thank you for taking the time and effort to remake this song! The chord progression, guitar, drummer, and the synthesizer melody is captivity! I have been playing along with a melodic line on my flute, soprano sax, and muted trumpet. Thanks again! Great work!
For real. I know nothing of my fretboard but practicing with stuff like this is absolutely helping! And is the most fun I've had practicing for a while
I have performed the lessor banishing of the pentagram using this piece of music as a focus and to do the chant too. Brilliant piece and a excellent tool for me thank you xxx
As a multi-intstrument guy, I don't always get to practice my "chops" in a mellow or even shredding way, depending on my mood. Love this and Thanks............
Daniel: I am just learning how to play harmonica, and this was the perfect track for me to use as I am practicing on my Seydel Sailor Em tremolo. Wow! I am subscribing to your channel. YOU ARE AWESOME!!! Cheers.
I've listened, enjoyed, and I am still playing lead guitar over this fantastic track!!! This is the best Em track to jam with! I really appreciate you sharing this magnificent piece of art. You have a new fan and supporter here my friend. Much respect to you!!!
Fantastic Track, never been into E minor somehow, but this one showed me it's beauty. Really well built, no matter which position you play, always sound soooo nice. Great job!!
It is not only about knowing the scales and the techniques. If you cannot feel like you connect even though you have got the basics down, this version and genre might not be for you. You can try coming back the next day BUT you have to find the types where you persistent to keep playing even if you make mistakes.... Listening to this, i felt like I was on stage so? I performed! :D sorry dad for waking you up with my high energy slides and bends for I was expressing my feelings that I could never convey through words or speech, not to you though.. just these four sides of walls I am entrapped within. Love it!
Thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU. I'm late to work because I don't know what galaxy I am on after jamming to this. Definitely revisiting this during finals week.
I almost got a divorce because I did solo over and over on this song that my wife hated both the song and me. Now I play when she is out. I'm destroying this. Seriously tho with this backing track i think I discovered the secret of of playing on any key. Thank you.
I just learned my first scale shape and this was my very first try at soloing over anything, i really enjoyed it, i feel as if i've just took my first steps from beginner to the next step up, thankyou for putting this on youtube for use to enjoy.
One of the keys is not over playing find a little riff and find ways to repeat in different neck positions. Start low and slow build them go back to low and slowly work to a crescendo. Knowing the caged system and having several ways to play the chords up the neck helps alot. You can then play out if those shapes.
this is beautiful, 17 minutes of inspirational track: I felt like a pro... thanks man, you made my day, truly.
Simone Tanzi thanks for the kind words I appreciate it :)
How to play sounds of silence
I think it may be the best way to practice and improve and get the most out of every moment spent practicing.
That would be a D sir.
Great, nice to know you. I'm from Cuba, fortunate to live in USA. I thank my parents and God.

do you have a link to the track ?
This is probably my favorite one on UA-cam, always coming back to it

Thank you, Daniel Albrand!
You aren't only one, bro!!! I hear it too
If you search sounds of someday by radio company its the same chord progression
Perfect background, perfect for soloing and travelling to another world.
For those asking or haven't figured it out
Em / C / D / Em and repeat is the progression. For those just starting I suggest outlining those chords and bending into notes in those chords. Have fun!
I spent decades learning everything but scales. Don't be like me, be better-learn the scales and use them, it makes everything much easier.
@@wadepatton2433 I fully agree, you should learn scales. I was just suggesting for those just picking up a guitar that the Em scale's outlining of these chords would be good fpr those first picking up the guitar.

@Alan Wolecki the natural harmonic minor scale and the phrygian dominant sound killer with this E minor chord progression. Very David Gilmour-ish.....

He didn't make this, it's stolen
I agree. I would like to see what others have come up with
@@visaulsubset7visaul468how?? It’s 3 chords played over and over ???
What a flosers talk about.He stole that man like you said 3 cords.Bra and whatever progression you want to put him in dummy

I repeat this over and over. I can't stop playing guitar solo with this backing track. Thanks a lot man.

I came up with 2 licks on this one, probably the best backing track I played to until this day.
Amazing!
Magic,a bit costly, thats the first time in years Ive broken a g string bending it, but this track is just begging you to test your limit. Very nice indeed, I salute you.
This track inspires you to play when you feel you're not good, really great track to jam on I felt like I was really creating those licks.
As someone who is just learning the pentatonic shapes this is great opportunity to move the shapes out of Am and get familiar with other positions. E seems like the next natural step. Thanjks
one of my favorite backing tracks of all time I feel so mystical and warm when I play this. The track is an awesome vibe
Try playing with my new backing track and let me know what you think 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/5RfuzE8MCXI/v-deo.html

Brilliant thanks.
You know you could buy a Boss RC3 and play C, D and E Minor and do it yourself ;)
good Em C D combination
i started to think i was the best guitar player that ever lived.
Michael Seymour yeah that is really true
then you realized I was thinking the same thing... Hmm
Me too
We are legends in our own minds!!
Yeah , also I'm tony Stark

I played along with my violin and its sooo amazing
Propably the best backing track ive heard so far. 3 hours just flew by with this.
The power of music is unmeasurable.
It seems so short even though it's extended... Can't stop playing. Thanks
That's way more fun than practicing scales to a metronome! Thanks for the track 🙏
Was searching for some finger exercise and came across this beautiful track. I love the beat with a minor progression, gets me every time.
lost myself in this beautiful track ,bent those strings to make it cry...cheers bro
For real. I know nothing of my fretboard but practicing with stuff like this is absolutely helping! And is the most fun I've had practicing for a while

Wonderful. You are allowing a lot of people to jam so inspired. Thankyou very much
Brother, when I play with this track it takes me to my metaphysical place. Excellent stuff!
I shall never underestimate the Rhythm Section again, with a good backing track behind you playing lead becomes incredibly easy !
And I totally agree with you!
Can't sleep at 3am. Jammin' along to this great track. Perfection! Thanks.

this track was too good tbh

Thanks for posting.
Nice backing track I felt so good while playing thanks man!
I love tracks like this! Clean arpeggiated chords plus synth ambience really makes a delay/distortion tone stand out! Thanks s much :)
Needed this so bad. Right in the middle of finals =)
Just discovered this masterpiece, spent all evening practising on it. Thank you!
This is so beautiful and soft, its making cry... Love it!
Wow, that's a great backtrack. First time I felt I can improvise on guitar.
I spend like 4 hours for solo 😂 tnx for this
Some great noodling over that track. Excellent clip.
Definitely in my top 5💯🎸 all time favorite jams here ✊🏼 thanks
Malmsteen are into there ?
Pretty music ,just cannot get over these tracks! They are really ex💯🎶cellent flowing and mellow!
Absolutely awesome track mate. I shall shred on this till me fingers fall off!!!

awsome backing track thank you for taking the time, totally enjoyed soloing over your track!
Travis Adams Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Three freaking chords to rock and roll heaven. Awesome, dude. Thank you.
Guys try adding a major third into your soloing. For some reason it just works on this track
This is awesome. I played over it three times and ran out of backing track! Just lost in it. About to go for a few more. Thanks for making it!
Amazing track i also use it for relaxation purposes. Great work!
I have gained a lot of improv. from this track! Thank you Daniel Allbrand!
Thanks man my lead has taken on a whole new level of playing, in s good way!! Wonderful track to have fun with..
my first time hearing this... absolutely stunning... this is by far the nicest I've heard... the timing is perfect...well done!!!
I'm so sorry to anyone hearing my terrible solo for 17 minutes lol.

It's cool bro keep going and learning just like me we will get there🎉
I just started learning playing guitar and man i love this backing track. Did my first little impro session with it and loved every second of it
who else jammed the full 17 minutes?
MEEE
Who else jammed it over 100 times?...Wow, I might have an addiction problem.
Yep
i got to the 16 minute mark and then the phone rang ...
I played on guitar and piano both in the 17 minutes
Dude I played lead for 13 minutes. WOW!! I would pay for this right now!
The melody of ride on by christy moore goes on this perfectly I have had a great time figuring out that melody ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Sweet
Very, very nice. The kind that soothes, anytime, and never gets old. Thanks so much. Wish it were a MP3 to play thru my amp
Awesome!! Inspires my lead.. I play for love of my Strat, Les Paul and SG.. Thank you
Now you need a tele and your done
Unbelievably good! So good that it made me feel like I'm a professional guitarist
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters....
looked at the thumbnail for a sec and thought it was slaughtersun, but was disappointed. it's quite nice though :)
damm good man.. i close my eyes and played solo.. i was in haven for 17 minutes..
Rhythm Shooter that was lovely comment
Veddy nice -- both harp and flute here, great track. Thanks.
