About this jam track

Inspired by classic rock track from Status Quo & others, this guitar backing track brings the boogie rock groove to shred your favorite blues rock licks in the key of G. The A-section builds up a classic rock & roll pattern, that develops into a more modern pop rock chorus, that opens up the arrangement with fuller chords and a joyful organ. Stick around ’til the end for a little surprise 🙂

Gear
  • The main guitar used on this uplifting rock jam track is a Fender Telecaster Vintera LPD
  • Amps used: only Victory V40 Duchess & The Mad Professor Honey Overdrive for rhythm.
  • Drums: Steven Slate Drums 5.5
  • Bass: programmed with Spectrasonics Trilian

I had a lot of fun making this classic blues rock backing track, & I sincerely hope that this video will provide you with some inspiration. Keep on playing that guitar! Maarten.

About this jam track

This modern country rock jam track is written like a true pop-rock song. The video shows the parts of the song (verse, chorus, bridge). The instrumental track draws inspiration from artists like Scott McCreery, Rascall Flatts, but also classic artists like Neil Young. The middle section reminded me of Bryan Adam’s song ‘When You’re Gone’. I aimed for an uplifting mood, a real ‘road trip song’- that was also the working title for this guitar backing track. 

Slide

The slide is a ceramic Star Singer Slides Desert Guitar Slide that I really like! It has a nice feel (touch), great sound and stunning looks! I provided a link to Amazon next to the image, if you’re interested.

Other gear
  • The main guitar used on this country rock jam track is a Fender Telecaster Vintera (Lake Placid Blue). The guitar has the characteristic, Tele ‘bite’. I have this guitar for a month now. It is fun to play, although the intonation for playing chords could be a bit better (this is always a compromise, as I have it set up for lead playing). The slide guitar is a cheap Yamaha Pacifica in open G-tuning. 
  •  Drums: Steven Slate Drums 5.5 (incl. the drum computer in the intro) 
  • Bass: programmed with Spectrasonics Trilian
