I liked this one instantly. This one goes in the save file. Three years ago I lost the end of my index finger on my left hand and I thought I would never play again. I have learned to play with 3 fingers and I'm relearning how to play again. Its been hard and I cant do everything I use to but I keep trying. Thanks for the great jam track.
The good part is i already know the cords and scales. Now just learning how to do it differently. If you want to see how hard it is. Try putting a slide on your index finger and play without usine your indexfinger. Its very hard but doable.
Wow, you have my admiration for your persistence - this may be a bit obvious and something you've already thought of, but have you tried re-learning as a left hander? You already have musical skills baked in, you already know the shapes etc, it probably wouldn't take you as long as you'd think to get proficient, although it'd be frustrating at first. Back in the day, I did a lot of one-to-one teaching, and frequently had students who were learning right-handed when they were actually left-handed, as it made getting instruments easier etc. The point being that there's no barrier to doing it either way, whatever you natural "handedness", if that makes sense.
@@chalkboardjamtracks Thanks and yes I have thought about switching to a lefty or picking up the slide but Im 64 now and I have had my day in the sun, playing in bands and being a sound man for decades. Yes it is frustrating and I cant rip like I use to, but life changes so we just roll with it.
Thank you so much for your positive comment, glad you enjoy the jam tracks - but I must let you know that my name is not John, and I can't think where you may have got that from... However, if you watch to the very end of any of my videos, you will find a copyright board with my actual name on it ! (Or I suppose I could tell you here, but why spoil the fun?)
Glad you like it - I've just today uploaded a Sabbath-style track if that tickles your fancy! In the meantime, please do check out the rest of the channel - there's a whole bunch of backing tracks in various styles, keys, genres, tempo etc - have a good dig around, cheers
I wrote/programmed a kind of Bonzo-ish beat using an EZdrummer preset named "Levee" on their basic vintage kit - I reckon the name of the preset kind of gives away what they were aiming for, and it sounded good to me! Glad you enjoyed it too.
Thanks for the comment. I tend not to do the spoken intros nowadays, but I have kept the count-in. Some of the other backing track channels have an entire piece to camera before the track starts, or a demonstration solo. Others nothing. Each to their own. Hope the track was useful to you anyway, cheers.

Sorry to hear about your finger - but relearning to play without it is amazing dedication. Glad the track could help in some way.

Thank you John for your excellent work creating these backing files. I love it

Comment 😊
FYI - shouldnt be talking in a backing track video... no need for intros and countdowns it kind of ruins the immersion.
