Country Rockabilly Jam Track in A major
Here is a fun, new jam track I wrote and recorded in the key of A major. This track is your perfect companion to learn how to improvise over a country rockabilly rhythm. Part A is a classic train rhythm, whereas part B adds a bit more bounce in a typical rockabilly swing or jump blues style. Part C features classic ‘blues stops.’ Stick around for the end (full boppin’ jump blues mode, with a walking bass!) Enjoy these and many more of my jam tracks!
Producing realistic parts on my laptop
Like most of my jam tracks, this country rockabilly track uses a bass part that is made with Spectrasonics Trilian, one of my favorite virtual instruments. Below is an overview of the acoustic bass part, meticulously designed to be as real as possible. Especially in a genre like country or rockabilly, it’s important to jam over a natural groove, without quantization. Adding the extra noises that the neck of the double bass makes adds to the vintage feel and realism. I hope you enjoy this country rockabilly guitar track!

Why not on YouTube?
When I first uploaded this video in April of 2022, the video got flagged, as the copyright algorithm on Youtube claimed to have found similarities between my track and a(n unknown) Russian rock song from the 80s. Although there is no similarity between the tracks and this seems to have been a ‘false positive’, the publisher of the Russion song rejected my polite ask to remove the copyright claim and as a result, I got a copyright strike. I contacted YouTube, but unfortunately they do not mediate in these copyright disputes. In the end, the only option I got was to remove the video entirely from the platform..
