Expand your acoustic instrumentation with this exclusive set of JamTracks. Complete
with full tabluture and chord chords, these tracks will both challenge and inspire.
Acoustic Bossa
Key: D Major
This Bossa Nova inspired backing track is a great way to develop new melodic ideas using the D
Major scale. Make sure you listen to what the other instruments are playing as you develop your
solo and focus on musicality!

Acoustic Pop
Key: C Major
Use the C major scale to emphasize the positive vibe of the track. Let your ears guide you through
the chord changes. Listen first and then, make informed note choices. Also, let the track breath.
There’s a lot going on with the rhythm section, so phrase accordingly.
Acoustic Trails
Key: E Minor
This is a perfect track to work on your modal playing. The first changes suggest E Dorian and then E
Aeolian. Listen and switch between the modes as your ears guide you. Also, make sure you follow
the “swing feel” that the rhythm section is playing

Country Fields
Key: A Major
This track calls for some really heartfelt playing. Enrich your expressiveness with all the resources
that we as guitarist have: bends, vibrato, slides, etc. Use the A major scale and bend and slide
through the scale, it really fits the track nicely.
Eagle Sunrise
Key: E Major
Combine the E Major pentatonic and the E major scale to solo over this track. Also, walking up and
down the scale using intervals really works in this context and, evoke that country sound the track
has. Thirds and Sixths intervals sound great here.

Elegant Evening
Key: F# minor
The combination of the minor key with the acoustic instrumentation, really emphasize the bossa /
latin feel of this track. Use the F# Aeolian mode and follow the rhythm section changes. When the
drummer goes to the ride cymbal, intensify your playing. You can even switch to some F# minor
pentatonic phrasing for that “Santanesque” feeling.
Hipster Folk
Key: F Major
Lots of chord changes on this “Hipster Folk”. Start on the “safe zone” of the pentatonic and as you
familiarize with the harmonic movement, explore with your major scale modes. Again, finding the
way to be musical with a busy rhythm section is the challenge here.
Jazz Of Mine
Key: Bb Major
This is a great track to explore melodic playing. Listen to the bossa nova feel and the beautiful piano
embellishments and play accordingly. The Bb major scale is all you need to find melodies that fit.
Jazzy Side
Key: F minor
Even though there’s some challenges on keeping up with the harmonic changes of this track, you
can still use the F minor pentatonic and sound just fine. As you gain confidence, try F harmonic
minor when the V7 (C7) chord appears. Also, outline the Bb chord change with the arpeggio or use F
dorian, for that jazzy sound.
Lazy Sunday
Key: D minor
Follow the swing feel of the track and use the D aeolian scale for your note choices. As usual, D
minor pentatonic also works, and it’s really effective when it comes to set a different mood for your
melodies.
Life Is A River
Key: C minor
Play C Aeolian over this. Choosing which notes from the mode emphasize, it’s a great way to give
structure to your improvisation. For example: when the B section of the backing track kicks in, try to
play Ab over the Fm chord so you’re really emphasizing the chord change. Of course you can use
any notes and let your ear guide you.
Lullaby Dream
Key: Bb minor
Pay close attention to V chord (F7) on this backing track. It suggests the Bb harmonic minor scale.
Use the track to train your ears to recognize that V7 chord so you can move seamlessly between Bb
natural minor (Aeolian) and Bb harmonic minor when you’re soloing.
Poppy Rock
Key: G Major
This track is all about the style, a really easy- going acoustic pop theme. Work on your solo so that it
fits the track. Not too bluesy, not too rock, and not too country. Use the G major scale to find your
melodies and themes.
Road Ahead
Key: E Major
This backing track really inspires you to be expressive and melodic. Try to hear or sing the melodies
that the music suggests and use the E major scale to translate those melodies to your guitar. This is a
great exercise for developing your melodic playing.
Sappy Ballad
Key: D minor
Use this track to familiarize with the D harmonic minor scale. It’s a very rich and distinctive sound.
Look for the A7 (V chord) and emphasize the C# note of the scale. That’s the note that will give you
that characteristic harmonic minor sound.
Seashore Stroll
Key: A minor
The challenge here is to move seamlessly between the melodic minor sound of the first part of the
backing track and the harmonic minor sound of the second part. It’s a great track to explore
different sounds and move out of your comfort zone.

Take It Easy
Key: F# minor
Pay attention to the accompaniment on this track. Approach your soloing as if you were answering
to a musical question that the other instruments are asking. The relaxed pace of this track really
allows for this musical conversation. The F# Aeolian scale should give you all the sounds you need
for this.
Touch Of Country
Key: A Major
Listen to the IV chord at the beginning of the B section. Outlining that D chord is a great way to
define the start of a new section and take your solo to a new place. Go back to the A major scale on
the A section.
Trainful Thought
Key: G minor
Use G minor pentatonic and G minor blues as your core sounds for this track. Keep your phrasing
relaxed and melodic to really serve the track. Even if you are soloing over this backing track, your
goal is to be musical and say something meaningful along with the other instruments.
Walking Straight
Key: G Major
Take your time and listen to the track. Use the G major scale to be really melodic. Explore the
options that the guitar has to offer. Things like slow bends and intervallic passages can add variety
to your soloing over this beautiful track.
