<center>Links to Over 5,000 Free Guitar Backing Tracks!
by Beth Isbell, January 15, 2010</center>
I spent a lot of hours going through pages & pages of google searches to find the best free guitar backing track sites. These are mainly for blues & rock music, but some contain jazz, country, even reggae tracks. I personally visited every site & pulled up tracks to make sure that every track & site is actually FREE! All together these sites contain over 5,000 FREE guitar backing tracks in virtually every style & tempo ... have fun!

This is an interesting concept & I have heard friends talk about it - this program allows you to actually slow down mp3s to half speed but at the original pitch - to allow you to learn solos/riffs ... costs about $60.00 to order, but you can sign up & receive a free download sample program that works, but has some limitations. I'm not recommending this program, but think it might be worth at least checking out & if it works and you can drop the $60 they require, then cool ...
