This is also a pretty cool backing track =
I know it's a youtube video, but if you go to Keepvid.com you can save it as an Mp4 and then use Winamp to seperate the audio from the video, anyway it's useful because it stays in one key but cycles through all the modes - Great for practicing asserting a modal sense of phrasing ?

Yeah, fair enough. Otherwise I just get a book and learn. But to each their own... I had my share of backtracks... always hated that it didn't do progs or movements like myself (which forced me into my own). And the only way to experiment with new things and sounds... is to make them. Creating stuff over someone elses track leaves a hole when you want to put that idea into your stuff. You have this awesome note sequence popping out... try to recreate it.... and it fails. Why? Cos you forgot the sequence you played over had a movement and at that point in time (split second or so) it worked. Moods prevail and all that stuff.
But yeah, backtracks have their place ?
Very true, to me backing tracks are just a great form of stress relief ? I also like having a collection of generic jam tracks so when a buddy comes over we can improv jam over them ?
