If, like me you find you need more than 12 bars a couple of times a week to get in to improvised solos, here are some practice tracks I have done so that I can try out ideas and just get the feel of it. It's all basic stuff at the moment and I will add further stuff as I create it.

These tracks are just backings but they don't stop after 12 bars, they keep going, more or less forever - especially if you put your media player on loop. Successful improvising is in no way guaranteed as a result of using this page but at least it won't be for the lack of trying (here I speak for myself).

I hope you find this useful and/or amusing (I'm easily amused). Let me know if there are any other tracks that you would like to see here and I will try and include them - given time!
