Ah yes, the Blues Backing Tracks blog is finally live!
I intend to make this a fantastic hang out for blues musicians looking for high quality backing tracks for practicing, jamming, performing, or whatever floats your boat.
There are a lot of backing tracks available out there, from free downloads to expensive professional backing tracks for live performance.
Unfortunately, price is often no indicator of actual quality. There’s a lot of junk out there and I’m going to help you avoid it if at all possible. I’ll be providing tips and hints for what you’re looking for and what to stay away from.
While I come at this from a guitar player’s perspective, good backing tracks will work for just about any instrument like harmonica, sax, vocals; any soloist really.
Keep your eye out for the next post, we’re gonna’ have some jammin’ fun with the best blues backing tracks anywhere!

I like to play blues on my Peavey Raptor. Instead of buying a totally new guitar it might sound better if I try better pickups, mine are fairly old and they came already on the guitar.
What are good pickups to use for playing the blues?

I notice that the book came with several pictures of a very different looking type of guitar. I am trained classically (I also play the banjo), but never really worked my way into the blues/jazz/rock. Any additional perspective or advice or information would be very much appreciated.
