See http://gc.guitarcenter.com/kingoftheblues/tracks.cfm

Some nice tracks there. The website doesn't list how you are allowed to use them though.

I didn't, however, use the metric spelling for Guitar Center. :)

These are GREAT. I just played through all of them... what an interesting jam, switching from style to style.

I tried to download them, but the GC app said I suck so bad that I only qualify for the Peasant of Blues backing tracks. :(

I may be violating something, but I'm in the process of uploading the tracks here: http://jonnyblues.com/bt/.

If you see 25 tracks, they are all there.

I downloaded them a couple of years ago, then they added a couple, to tell you the truth I can't remember what app I used but I have them all on a cd.

As a side note:

A friend of mine, Tim O'Donnell, the son of Pat O'Donnell of Resurrrection Guitars here locally, was in that competition in 2009. He won the state of Florida and then went to the regional finals in Nashville where he eventually lost to a guitar player from Texas. Out of approximately 5000 entries into the contest nationwide, Tim made it to the final 22. A pretty good showing, I'd say.

And speaking of showing, I'm showing my age a bit when I say that I've known Tim since he was about 4-years old. Not only has Tim become a great guitar player but he is also an incredible luthier as well, having spent many years of his young life working alongside his father making great custom guitars. He spends most of his time with his band, The Nouveau Honkies (great name :cool: ), playing and recording music. I know his father misses him in the shop, but he encourages Tim to pursue his music.

It's been something special to see Tim grow into the musician he is today.
