ABOUT This Blues Jam Track:
------------------------------------------------
This electric blues jam track in the key of A starts with a classic turnaround intro (from the V-chord). The jam track has 3 parts: A, B & C. Part A is a basic 12-bar blues in A, whereas part B ('the chorus') is an 8-bar vamp that starts from the IV chord (D7). In the B-section, the B3 Hammond organ enters for a fuller sound, and the bass starts 'walking' in the groove. I love playing over shuffles with 'real-life' musicians, so I spend quite some time on the drums & bass to create a natural shuffle groove. Part C is a break, where drums & bass play a little softer, and the harmony stays on the I-chord (A7) twice as long. Enjoy this guitar jam track or check out my other backing tracks for guitar!

My solo (+tabs) for this track here :ua-cam.com/video/0DuVm35rlOQ/v-deo.html
I must admit I had as much fun playing this rhythm guitar part, .. maybe an idea for a lesson video? Let me know! Maarten

[@fred3893]

This is great but the chords are different in places from the ones on the tabs.

Hi Fred, thanks a lot for your feedback! Could you give me a specific example, so I can check it out? Thanks!

@@GuitarInspiration Maarten. It is possible that I have got this horribly wrong, but these are the solos for which I can’t seem to match the tabs with the backing track.
1) ‘Blues Shuffle in A’ - Bar 29 Says ‘E7’ on the tabs, but ‘A7’ on the backing track. Bar 39 says ‘A7’ on the tabs but ‘D7’ on the backing track. Bars 68 and 69 say ‘A7’ on the tabs, but ‘E7’ on the backing track. Bars 70 - 79 on the tabs are different from the 8 bars of A7 on the backing track.
2) ‘Classic Blues Rock in Cm’ - The tabs and backing track seem to differ from Bar 49 on.
3) Emotional Guitar Solo (A Mixolydian) - Bar 20 says ‘D’ in the tabs but ‘G’ on the backing track. Bar 21 Says ‘A’ on the tabs but ‘D’ on the backing track.
4) ‘Melodic Guitar Solo’ (D Mixolydian) - Starts at 52 Secs on the backing track - After bar 14, the backing track repeats bars 2 - 5. This is missing from the tabs.
I have probably made some silly errors. If so, I apologise for bothering you. I really want to stress how grateful I am for the time you have taken to create and share these solos with us. They are fantastic and I am enjoying learning them very much. I have picked up some great licks. Cheers.

Hi Fred, I looked through your suggestions; in Blues Shuffle in A, you were absolutely right for the chords in bars 29 & 39. Also in Emotional Guitar Solo (A Mixolydian), there was a G missing on the tab. I corrected the tabs & re-uploaded the PDFs. Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your detailed study of my material 🙏🏻
Your other remarks are also correct, but they relate to small differences in song structure I sometimes make for my solo videos. In my solo videos, I try to tell a complete 'story' in a shorter video, whereas in a jam track, there’s more time to build things. So in a solo video, I might skip a second verse, or repeat a final chorus. That’s why these small differences in song structure exist. But I understand this can be confusing, so I’ll keep this in mind for future videos.
Feel free to e-mail me if you have any other remarks or questions: [e-mail]
P.S. new video is in the making! ;-)

@@GuitarInspiration Wow. Thank you so much. I appreciate the generosity of your response. I was worried that I would come across as being critical. I really appreciate the effort you put into your work and the fact that you provide it for free. Now all I have to do is to learn your phrasing. Many thanks.
