Backin Tracks

[Number Of The Priest]

There's supposed to be NO discussion going on in this thread. I'm reporting all y'all perps.

Okay, I just went through this entire thread and a lot of the links are broken. I'm always on the lookout for backing tracks, and my favorite updated websites are below.

Joe Satriani tribute site, with backing tracks and fan covers:
http://guitarplanet.free.fr/backingtracks.htm

Massive amount of alphabetically-sorted and new/unsorted backing tracks compiled from guitar magazine CDs, partial band covers, etc.:

Pretty much how I'm playing/practicing lately is downloading various backing tracks I deem are catchy and high quality (even from artists I've never heard of), burn them to a CD, and just improvise over the tracks.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Great forum with a cool laid back memebership. Reminds me of here a lot.

Anyone who wants the backing tracks for Dream Theater's album Systematic Chaos, contact me. I got a hold of the actual studio recording minus guitar - it's awesome, but I have nowhere to host...

Anyone has the full backing track of Opeth's Ending Credits. I have found only the short version on the internet. Thanks.

GUITARBT is down now.

I've been using GUITARBACKINGTRACK for some time now... it lets you preview the song in low quality before downloading the proper track. VERY useful.

GUITAR BT is back up!

Here's another recent and decent website of backing tracks:

http://freshbt.com/

Youtube also makes it easy for people to share and search for songs. Of particular interest are the video game master tracks from the Rock Band and Guitar Hero series with guitar tracks removed so it's easy to play over those.
