A while back, Guitar Center held a massive competition in which they crowned Kirby Kelley as King of the Blues. Well, you might not play as well as he does (I sure don't) but you can still practice with the same backing tracks he used for his winning performance.
Guitar Center has made available MP3 files of all of the backing tracks. There are over 20 tracks of various blues styles --Chicago blues, Texas blues, Big Band, Swing, Shuffle, Mambo, you name it. Although the key is not always indicated, they are mostly in A, D, E or are fairly easy to figure out. Check out the backing tracks and the video for some great blues inspiration!
You can also check out even more Rock and Blues backing tracks (some of dubious origin) over at GuitarBackingTrack.com. Bust out your Pentatonics and enjoy!
